Interesting how this article uses the word immigration a bunch of times but never to describe an American moving to Europe.

Technically correct, but not really:

The desire among Americans to move abroad is reaching record numbers: One in five say that, ideally, they would like to emigrate if given an opportunity, according to a 2025 Gallup poll

If they'd used “expat” or some shit, you'd have a point.

Ok sorry, they did it once with a slightly different word. Using expat would have been kinda funny
