Immigration – adj/n
The immigration officer felt guilt about the final decision.
The only way that the world can be stabilized is not by halting immigration, but by halting the need to emigrate.
Emigrate – v
to leave one country or region to settle in another; migrate: to emigrate from Ireland to Australia.
The best way to understand the difference between emigrate and immigration is:
- Emigrate begins with ‘e’ and so does the word ‘exit’. Therefore, you should be able to remember that you use emigrate when talking about someone that leaves their country, e.g. Max emigrated from Ireland to Australia.
- Immigration begins with ‘i’ and so does the word ‘in’. Therefore you should be able to remember that you use immigration when talking about someone moving in to a country, e.g. Immigration to Australia has increased since the Afghan War started.
