Morphology

intermigration = migration (transparent) = inter + migration

The meaning is directly derivable from 'inter' (between) + 'migration' (movement), a regular productive formation.

Etymology

Intermigration combines inter- meaning 'between' and migration from migrate, meaning 'to move'. Think of people moving between places or groups, so intermigration is the movement of people or groups from one region to another.
