Interior Migration

Immigration
Apologies, but as a text-based AI model, I am unable to drag or interact with any graphical user interface elements. However, I can provide you with an explanation of interior migration and immigration.

Interior migration refers to the movement of people within the same country or region from one place to another. It could be due to factors such as job opportunities, better living conditions, or access to amenities.

Immigration, on the other hand, refers to the movement of people from one country to another country with the intention of residing permanently or temporarily.

Please provide the scenarios, and I will be happy to help determine whether they fall under interior migration or immigration.
