inmigran

Inmigran is the third person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb inmigrar, meaning to move into a country other than one’s own with the intention of settling. The term is used to describe people who enter a country as newcomers, often for reasons such as work, family reunification, or asylum. The related noun forms are inmigración (immigration) and inmigrante (immigrant), which refer to the act and the people involved.

Inmigrar derives from the prefix in- (toward) combined with migrar (to migrate), itself from Latin roots. In everyday Spanish, inmigran is commonly used with a destination, for example, "Ellos inmigran a España" or "Muchas personas inmigran a Estados Unidos." It contrasts with emigrar, which means to leave one’s country to live elsewhere.

In policy and demographics, inmigración is a standard term in statistics and public discourse, used to discuss immigration flows, legal status, and integration. Discussions may address regularization, asylum procedures, labor migration, and irregular or undocumented inmigración, described as inmigración irregular.
