immigrant source countries


Explanation:
Coming to this one a bit late, but this is the expression I have come across most frequently.

Some examples among many can be found in:

agree  Toni Castano: This is IMO the right interpretation/approach to the query term. The expression of the source text is misleading, should be "países emisores de emigración". The contrary (emisores de inmigración) is contradictory per se.

  -> thanks Toni!

agree  Edward Potter: Absolutely, Toni. A different approach was needed. This is the best answer.
