Migrate: for humans and animals. It conveys the seasonal or periodical movement. It signifies the actual action of movement from a place to another.
Emigrate: The prefix e- (or ex-) usually means "out of" or "from."
Immigrate: The prefix im- (or in-) often means "in" or "into."
If I migrate from Germany to France, I would emigrate from the point of view of Germany and immigrate from the point of view of France
Therefore, emigrate means "to move out of" and immigrate means "to move into."

Immigrant! Or should I say Emigrant!
It's amazing how many people DON'T know this. Or what "illegal immigrant" means. ;-)
good stuff
Awesome...
That blew my mind >.>
I've been living in the US for 17 years and I just found out the word "emigrate" exists. I was playing "Catch Phrase" a board game where you have a password and you need to give clues on what it means. My word was "Emigrate" and I kept describing people who "Immigrate". We lost that point because immigrate was the incorrect answer.
Yup, I learned that word two weeks ago from a board game
wallah ?
