There is no difference between immigrant and migrant but between immigrant (migrant) and emigrant. If a person has made the decision to leave his or her home country the person is on the one hand an immigrant and on the other hand an emigrant. If the person settles down in an other country, the people of the other country will say the person is an immigrant. But, the people of the home country of the person who has left will say the person is an emigrant. So, to sum up, if a person comes into a foreign country the person is an immigrant and if a person leaves his or her home country the person is an emigrant.
come into = immigrant
leaves = emigrant

∙ 11y agoAn emigrant is a person who moves from their country of origin. And an immigrant is a person who gets to Another Country to live in.
An immigrant is a person who is moving from one country into another. An emigrant is a person exiting their current country to go to another. For example, if a person were to move from France to the US, they would be a French emigrant but and U.S. immigrant.

∙ 11y agoAn immigrant is someone who emigrates from their native country to this one.
So an immigrant is any person coming into a specific country, from that country's point of view. "Those people immigrated in 1960."
An emigrant is anyone who leaves his natural country. "He emigrated from Greece in 1903." -- he left Greece ---"A ship full of emigrants." -- people leaving a country for another-- "Let's emigrate to Canada."-- let's go and permanently live there.
Both notions have the meaning of "permanent relocation".

∙ 8y agoLet us say that a person moves from France to Italy. From the viewpoint of France, this person is leaving, he is therefore an emigrant. From the viewpoint of Italy this person is arriving, and he is therefore an immigrant. From the viewpoint of the person himself, he is both an emigrant and an immigrant, since he has both left somewhere and arrived somewhere.

How can a US citizen sponsor an illegal immigrant from Mexico so that they may remain or return to the US?
Your question reveals an unconscious bias. You said,= "How can a US citizen sponsor an illegal immigrant...." = If you "sponsor" them, they are not an "illegal immigrant." Careful, the way your question is phrased says a lot about you. The very term "illegal immigrant" is insulting to ....migrant workers, especially. Mexican citizens surely don't like the phrase and, by the way, Superman was apparently an "illegal immigrant" and you SURELY wouldn't want to insult HIM.

A migrant is someone who chooses to leave their country whether it be to start a better life or just because they want to try something new.
