    i think you use “emigrating” when leaving their homes behind, but here it is part of the joke that they no longer see the US as their home. instead, they’re seeing europe/whatever other country as their new “home”, so they’re immigrating.

      Do you imagine some kind of deeper meaning wrapped in a joke in it?
      The more likely explanation is that plenty Americans have poor literacy.
      Even plenty of ‘their’ ‘there’ mistakes. Elemental English.
