I believe an immigrant is someone who specifically comes and settles in a new country from another, whereas a migrant more generally refers to someone who moves around. I'd advise having a look at this link: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BADEN-WURTTEMBERG/2004-01/1075049789

What is the difference between an immigrant migrant and a emigrant?

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
