Terms:
The main difference between migrants and immigrants is that immigrants move—usually permanently—from one country to another.

The difference between immigrant and emmigrant depends on whether you are talking about moving to a country or moving from a country.
For example, someone from Brazil moving to the United States is emigrating from Brazil and immigrating to the United States.
