158 million migrants want to move to the US

(Washington Examiner)


The United States is the top pick — by far — for migrants seeking a new home, despite reports that President Trump’s policies are scaring people away and making countries such as Canada and some in Europe the preferred choice, according to a new report.


Some 158 million, or a population far larger than all of Russia, want to move to the U.S., about 21 percent of all those in the world seeking a new home.


In a worldwide survey, Gallup found that 15 percent of the world, or 758 million, want to move, most for jobs.


The list:

  • 158 million chose the U.S.

  • 47 million Canada.

  • 42 million Germany.

  • 36 million France or Australia.

  • 34 million United Kingdom.

  • 24 million Saudi Arabia.

  • 21 million Spain.

  • 17 million Japan.

  • 15 million Italy.

Gallup said that the United States has been battered internationally presumably because some do not like Trump. But apparently that didn’t lessen the desire of migrants to come to the U.S. Read more
