750 Million People Want To Migrate And The US Is The Most Popular Destination
People’s desire around the world to permanently migrate to another country has been increasing since 2010 and the preferred destination overwhelmingly remains the United States of America, a Gallup World poll revealed Monday.
More than 750 million adults, or 15 percent, worldwide between 2015 and 2017 said they’d move to another country if they could, up from 14 percent in 2013-2016 and 13 percent in 2010-2012, the survey found.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s election and his repeated efforts to build a wall around the nation’s southern border to curb illegal immigration did not appear to dissuade potential migrants from wanting to live in the U.S.
The U.S. has consistently ranked the number one destination for potential migrants since 2010, according to Gallup’s survey, with 21 percent, or 158 million adults, saying they’d like to move to the U.S.
An estimated 47 million adults surveyed said they’d move to Canada if they had the opportunity, and another 42 million chose Germany.

The country with the largest percentage of adults who say they’d permanently leave their country if given the opportunity has consistently been sub-Saharan Africa, with 33 percent of adults saying they’d do so.
Below that region on the list is the Latin American and Caribbean region, followed in order by non-European Union Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and Europe.
The European migrant crisis began in 2015 and potentially contributes to the shift in numbers.
This latest survey on potential migrants “is based on a rolling average of interviews with 453,122 adults in 152 countries and areas between 2015 and 2017.”
