    It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.

      Right. You don’t contradict me. You emigrate from somewhere if that’s your subject. And you immigrate to somewhere.

      To put it more simply. You can emigrate from America. Or you can immigrate to America.
