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.

In order to "take up" on permanent residency it has to granted first. Simply crossing the border illegally or coming on visitors visa does not grant permanent residence.
Here's some reading for you dumb ass.

Crossing the boarded via Rio Grande or cargo container does not "give"/"grant" permanent residency.
Now go get on that short bus of yours.
