Everyone I know who has immigrated to America talks some version of this.

'emigrated to'.
Sorry for correcting grammar. But being from one of the previous colonies, one desires to be a master of English and help others also to master it.
We emigrate to a country from our own country.
And other people immigrate into our country from some outside country.

I prefer 'migrated' for exactly that reason - strips all the annoying modifying prefixes that can trip you up. More flexible word, less radicals! ;)
It's funny to me people are only discovering this about America now whereas a whole generation of 1st gen parents of current Americans discovered it in earlier waves, the tech waves, etc.

I wonder if rural farm town to Miami is the real story here vs. any sort of national culture clash.
