Isn't that just migration?

[–] cbarrick@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

The opposite of "immigration" is "emigration".

  • "migration" does not imply a direction.
  • "immigration" means migration in.
  • "emigration" means migration out.

This is a specific case where former immigrants are leaving in supposedly significant numbers.
