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".

   For example, Japan maintains notoriously low refugee acceptance rates, and the Mideast countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait impose the strictest limits on work visas, they rarely allow anyone born in a foreign country to become a citizen.
   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.
