emigration
n : migration from a place (especially migration from your
native country in order to settle in another) [syn: out-migration,
expatriation]
Source: Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) EMIGRATION. The act of removing from one place to another. It is sometimes used in the same sense as expatriation, (q.v.) but there is some difference in the signification. Expatriation is the act of abandoning one's country, while emigration is, perhaps not strictly, applied to the act of removing from one part of the country to another. Vide 2 Kent, Com. 36.
