A person who advocates for or supports emigration; someone who promotes or encourages people to leave their country.
Formed from 'emigration' plus the '-ist' suffix (a person who practices or believes in something). This term emerged in the 1800s during periods of significant population movement.
During the 19th century, 'emigrationists' were often government officials or private companies promoting emigration from Europe to the Americas, essentially trying to convince desperate people that starting over in a distant land was worth the risk.
