The term immigration was coined in the 17th century, referring to non-warlike population movements between the emerging nation states. When people cross national borders during their migration, they are called migrants or immigrants from the perspective of the destination country. In contrast, from the perspective of the country from which they leave, they are called emigrants or outmigrants.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the term immigrant implies there’s a rule of land and territory. Indians believed we all own the land.
Yeah looks like you’re right
