Migrant workers, not migrant refugees. These are people who comes from poor rural communities in search of better jobs and future, not opportunistic economic migrants who come to take advantage of an European welfare state.
Also note that without a hukou they receive limited education and government services. This prevents them from settling in the cities they work in.

Here in India people use the word "migrant" for people who come from other parts of country. Perhaps this is the case in large countries.

I'm pretty sure China uses some Chinese word instead. And at least around here (European country), "migration" and "migrants" are also used when referring to people moving between regions inside the same country.

Have you ever actually spoken to one of those "opportunistic economic migrants" who apparently don't like the bad economic situation of places like syria, anymore?

Which part of India are you from? I've never heard the term "migrant" to describe people from other states within India.

Not just China - in the Great Depression, the Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl were "migrant" workers

Maybe you're an emigrant. Everyone looks at you as an immigrant doing migrant work...
