Emigration, the Reverse of Immigration

While immigration to the United States is well documented, so is emigration from the United States. And while people coming to the United States still exceeds those leaving, most who do leave, do so not as permanent emigrants but as expatriates for a limited amount of time. Early in its history, the United States had a high level of immigration because of its low population density. But in the past century, emigration from the United States has increased. Former military personnel contribute to the number of emigrants from the United States. When they retire, they return to the countries where they were previously based.
