Explanation:

1) Emigration and Immigration are extremely similar but there is a key difference. Let's use the simple verb form: emigrate and immigrate

• Emigrate = Moving out of one's country...For this think of the émigrés of the French Revolution, who moved from their Native Country. There are a range of reasons why one may move out.
• Immigrate = Moving into another country..For this think of someone's parents who moved to America (or whatever country) from another country. They immigrated to America (or whatever country they are now settled in).

2) Example: I have a good friend of mine who has parents that moved from Asia to USA. They emigrated from Asia (moved away from there), and immigrated to USA (moved into USA). immigration has an i, think of "i for into"
