Immigrant  /ˈɪm ɪ grənt/  noun
1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.

Alexander Hamilton was born in one British colony (the island of Nevis, part of the British West Indies) and moved to another British colony (New York). As this was pre-Revolution, he did not move to “another country.”

The Marquis de LaFayette came to America more than once; but as a visitor, never for “permanent residence.” After fighting in the American Revolution, he returned to France to fight in a couple of their revolutions. He served in the French government, never ceased to be a French national, and he is buried in Paris.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was born in New York City, but his grandparents lived in Puerto Rico – both of which are part of the same country.
