### 10.
# Brief Explanations:
"Emigrate" means to leave one's own country to settle in another. "Immigrate" means to come into a country to settle. Asians left their home countries (Asia) to go to the US, so "emigrated" (from their country) to the US (immigrated to the US, but the subject is Asians leaving their country to go to US, so "emigrated" is from their origin, "immigrated" is to the destination. Wait, the action is moving to the US, so from the Asian's perspective, they emigrated from Asia to the US. So "emigrated" (the subject is Asians, moving from their country to US, so emigrated to US? Wait, no: "emigrate to" is correct? Wait, "emigrate" is followed by "from" (emigrate from one's country) and "immigrate" is followed by "to" (immigrate to a country). Wait, the correct usage: "emigrate" - leave one's country to live elsewhere; "immigrate" - come to live in a foreign country. So Asians coming to the US: they immigrated to the US (from Asia). Wait, maybe I made a mistake earlier. Let's check: "emigrate" is to go out of one's country, "immigrate" is to come into a country. So if the Asians are moving to the US, they are immigrating to the US (from their home countries). Wait, the sentence says "many Asians (emigrated, immigrated) to the United States". So the correct verb is "immigrated" because they are coming into the US. Wait, maybe my initial thought was wrong. Let's confirm: "emigrate" = leave a country, "immigrate" = enter a country. So to the US, they are immigrating. So the correct answer is "immigrated".
# Answer:
immigrated
