| Sep 28, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | Harry V. Mod | @Jan I obviously didn't explain myself very well. I am not saying there shouldn't be three separate tags (see my answer). I also didn't realize you were talking about records - of course emigration and immigration records are different, even though they pertain to the same event of migration from one country to another. I made no suggestion that migration questions should be tagged with "immigration". | |
| Sep 28, 2015 at 16:35 | comment | added | Jan Murphy Mod | @vervet It is possible to migrate without leaving a trail of emigration or immigration records, if you are moving within national boundaries. Why should questions about what routes people took when moving through Ohio be tagged with "immigration"? What use will reading those questions be to someone searching for questions about Ellis Island? | |
| Sep 28, 2015 at 16:15 | comment | added | Harry V. Mod | @Jan Why? It's not possible to immigrate without also emigrating and migrating. Except in the rare circumstance where, for example, a ship sinks mid-journey. Saying they are different events is like saying that a mother giving birth is a different event from a baby being born. | |

| Sep 27, 2015 at 14:46 | comment | added | Harry V. Mod | @bgwiehle I'm honestly not trying to be difficult here, but if immigration is considered an event leading to naturalization, then by definition so is emigration, and in some cases, migration. Which is kind of why I brought up the point in the first place. It's all the same event - the difference is really which perspective the questioner is taking. | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 13:54 | comment | added | bgwiehle | "Immigration" tends to be interpreted as an event leading to naturalization. But not all international travel leads to changes in allegience. | |
| Sep 27, 2015 at 3:06 | comment | added | PolyGeo Mod | I think you have made a good case for migration being applied to something that can happen within a country and I have updated its tag wiki accordingly. I wonder if emigration and immigration should be called emigration-records and immigration-records to help disambiguate. | |
