Immigrate and Emigrate has the same root- migrate. Migrate means to move from one place to another; it does not mean to settle down in a place.
The word Immigrate origins from Im(in)+ migrate; im means in and migrate means to move. When you go in a country to settle down there: you immigrate. The same way, Emigrate from E(ex) + migrate; e for ex means exit and migrate means to move. When you exit your county to settle down in another country, you emigrate to there.In short,
Prefix E stands for Exit in Emigrate.
Prefix Im stands for In or come in in Immigrate.
