    Default Re: immigrate vs emigrate

    Hi Nathan

    Think of the words "import" and "export"

    "Immigration" refers to people coming into a country whereas "emigration" refers to people leaving a country.

    See:
    immigration - definition of immigration by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
    and
    emigration - definition of emigration by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

    Hope this helps
