Explanation:

To determine the correct word, we analyze the meanings: "emigrate" means to leave one's own country to settle in another (focus on leaving the original country), while "immigrate" means to come into a foreign country to live (focus on arriving in the new country). In this sentence, people are coming to the United States, so we use "immigrate".
