I came back to this thread, because I've realized that I've missed some details: other prophets were migrants too. Some examples includes:
- Adam and Eve: Both were kicked out from Eden and were forced to find a new homeland. Clearly migrants.
- Noah: Built a boat to traverse the sea. One of his passengers was his son Ham, who was the first black person. Definitely a migrant.
- Abraham: Was a guest, along with his wife and half-sister Sarah, in Egypt. Surely a migrant.
- Joseph: Became an important Egyptian when he was brought there. 100% migrant.
- Jonah: Went to Sardinia via a whale (like the one in Pinocchio). Was also a racist who later repented.
- Saint Paul: Did a long journey that eventually led him to Rome. How can he not be a migrant?
Shall I continue?
