"Migrant" didn't exist as a category until modernity. Before that you had refugees, invaders, slaves, and merchants/sailors (not counting nomads). In the 1300s there were 2 people who didn't fit those special categories (Ibn Batuta, Petrarch,...). Now: 244m, 3% of world.

many migrants adhere to nationalism, maybe not the nationalism of their new home country, but often to the one of their parent's country.
