One reference: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/emigrate-immigrate/#:~:text=Immigrat....

"Although related, immigrate and emigrate are not alternative spellings of the same word. They each have their own meaning.

Immigrate means to live in a country that is not your country of origin. It is often used with to.
Emigrate means to leave your country of origin and live someplace else. It is often used with from."

It is a minor point, perhaps, but I am seeing Profiles with an Added Field where the Field Label uses the wrong word.
Hoping this will help keep others from doing the same.
And hoping by listing them here as I notice them that they may be corrected.

These currently use "Emigrated To USA" - if the added Field is wanted, the Label should be "Immigrated to USA" or "Emigrated from" wherever they Emigrated from
