Re: GEN: emigrant vs. immigrant

[Kris Detmer <kdetmer@COLUMBIA.K12.MO.US>]

Simply put, an "emigrant" is one who has left his or her country,
while an "immigrant" comes to a new country.  The same person
may be both.  For example, the pilgrims were emigrants from
England, and immigrants to America.
