Karaites can immigrate to Israel, but they are not privy to the Law of Return of 1950 (which is the law under which Jews immediately become citizens of Israel).
The Law of Return's applicability to any group of Jews or quasi-Jews is determined by the Orthodox Rabbinate of Israel based on how Halakhic or in Accordance with Jewish Religious Law, the group of Jews or quasi-Jews is. Since the Karaites chose to deny the validity of the Rabbis and the Oral Law, the version of the law that they follow is significantly different from proper Halakha or Jewish Religious Law. Therefore they are not considered to be Jews. This is the same issue that the Samaritans and other Jewish-like religions suffer.
It should also be noted that there is a difference between Immigration and Aliyah. Aliyah is so-called by Jews because there are a group of commandments that the Rabbis hold are only valid in the Land of Israel. Therefore a Jew "rises up", which is what "Aliyah" means, when he comes to Israel. Karaites do not believe that there are any commandments that are specifically bound the Land of Israel. As a result, there is no "Aliyah" for them in a spiritual sense. As a result, the Karaites could not perform "Aliyah" regardless of whether any Israeli law were to recognize them.

If Diaspora is the term used to describe the Jewish dispersion what is the term to describe their return to Israel?
When a Jew moves to Israel, it is said that he/she is making Aliyah. Aliyah means arising, ascending, going up. It is said that moving to Israel is moving to a higher spiritual plane, thus the usage of the term aliyah. Aliyah is also used to refer to someone coming up to read from the Torah. However, Aliyah is not the proper opposite to Diaspora. Aliyah is what an individual does. The opposite of Aliyah is Yeridah, when a single person leaves Israel. The opposite of Diaspora, which is the communal dispersion of the Jewish people, is the communal return of the Jewish people to Israel. This return has not yet happened. There are still more Jews outside of Israel than inside of it. Such a return would likely be called the Geula or Redemption. Another opposite for the Exiling of the Jews (Diaspora) is Kibbutz Galuyot (Ingathering of the Exiles).

What is an aliya?
Aliyah is a Hebrew word meaning that a Jew is returning home to their land, Israel. Many folks who are Jewish move back to Israel to be close to and live in the center of the Jewish people. I am planning on making Aliyah so I can live in Israel and live out the rest of my life as a Jew living amongst other Jews, where I can have a daily integration with other people who have the same beliefs as I have. It takes months of preparation. Once there, there are classes to take to learn Hebrew. Also, because I have not been an observant Jew, I would want to take classes to learn more about the Jewish faith and begin attending synagogue services and joining in with others for all the Holy Days and celebrations that the Jewish people hold so dear to their hearts. Making Aliyah is the life-long dream of many Jews!!Answer 2"Aliyah" is a Hebrew word that translates as "ascent", "climb", "up-going" etc. A Jew who receives the honor during the Sabbath synagogue service of walking to the reading table and witnessing the reading of a portion of the Torah is "given an Aliyah", and a Jew who migrates to live in Israel "makes aliyah"; ascends. That's the sense in which the word is used to describe emigration to Israel. It really tells you a lot about how such a move is viewed ... so much more than just a physical relocation.
