English isn’t my first language, but can you even fix the prepositions to the verbs like that. Wouldn’t you have to define your frame of reference? I’d say it shifts with your perspective.
Example: I’m in Homeyland and there are migrants, who are emigrating from the Faraway Islands and immigrating to Homeyland.
When I’m in the Faraway Islands, I’d say the same people are emigrating to Homeyland. While Homeylanders coming here are immigrating from Homeyland.

Yeah, it’s why your country has plenty of immigrants, but you never seem to run into any of your emmigrants. Or for the linguistic reason i- as a prefix can mean into and e- as a prefix can mean out of in latin, coming from the Latin words in and ex meaning in and out
