Yes, it does state intention. Here, I'll explain it again for you.

im·mi·grant noun \ˈi-mə-grənt\
: one that immigrates: as a : a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence

There is the intention. An immigrant is someone coming to a country to take up permanent residence. Clearly you have a problem with reading comprehension.

Also, your comparison about a millionaire. No, intention is not the case with that - because the definition does not note any intention.

mil·lion·aire noun \ˌmi(l)-yə-ˈner, ˈmi(l)-yə-ˌ\
: a person whose wealth is estimated at a million or more

^ It doesn't say someone "attempting", "trying", or "building up" a million dollars. It says someone who HAS a million dollars.




One more time for good measure:

im·mi·grant noun \ˈi-mə-grənt\
: one that immigrates: as a : a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence

Try reading it slowly. It might sink in that way.
