Honestly, they're not sending their best. They're criminals, they're rapists, they're slavers. And some, I assume, are good people (europe.pub)

I think you meant "immigrants" instead of "emigrants". Emigrants would be people leaving, not coming.

Emigrated from the USA. It depends on whether the emphasis is supposed to be on the location they're leaving from, or arriving to.

I did write "banned emigration" where I meant "banned immigration" though, lmao, fixed.
