Here in India people use the word "migrant" for people who come from other parts of country. Perhaps this is the case in large countries.

Which part of India are you from? I've never heard the term "migrant" to describe people from other states within India.

In many states of India, you will be called an immigrant, not just migrant. Generally, the choicest of abuses are reserved for Bihari migrants though. Not so for educated migrants for Kerala, for example. Most Indian states have cultural identities stronger than even some European nation states and hence the conflict with the other.

Not in the US. From Alaska? Maybe rough around the edges but citizen not migrant.

Yeah, I don't even think most people in the US would use the word migrant to talk about someone from Canada. When I hear "migrant worker", the image in my head is agricultural workers coming from Mexico.
