I have been wondering at what point “immigrants” became “migrants” and why. In my mind, the former sounds like “they came from outside the border” and the latter sounds like “they’re always on the move”. I somehow missed the memo on this but I’ve been noticing it for probably over a year.

I haven’t noticed until you just now pointed it out. It feels so insidious.
I agree. It sounds a little more dehumanizing to me
