What are the different noun word definitions for different folks: migrants/refugees/asylum-seekers/illegal aliens?

 
  The surprise of finding more than one term for persons who are in our country was a shock, and when I began my research for this April's blogspot post, I found what I called, "different noun word definitions for different folks".

   I found another term that is used exclusively in the USA, "illegal allien".
   There is another website on my website research list that gives information about the hardest countries in the world to immigrate to.

   However, my research proves, migration is a global issue.
   The noun word definition for different folks used doesn't matter, according to Google's AI "…migration is a highly contentious and significant political issue worldwide, it fuels the rise of political parties, shapes national security debates, and is used to drive public discourse. As a major political challenge, governments struggle to balance economic needs, humanitarian obligations, and public anxiety…"
