10 million Indians want to move to US: poll

The poll said that 19 million Chinese would like to move to the US,followed by 13 million from Nigeria,10 million from India and six million each from Brazil and Bangladesh.

However,other populous countries such as Iran and Pakistan do not have large groups of people who say that they would like to move to the US permanently.

Instead,Pakistanis most desire to relocate to Saudi Arabia and the UK,and Iranians would prefer to move to Jordan or Lebanon.

This is not surprising,as Iranians and Pakistanis have some of the lowest US leadership approval ratings in the world.

Gallup said the percentage of people in each country,who would like to move to the US permanently is perhaps more interesting. A staggering 37 per cent of Liberians say that they would like to relocate to the US permanently.

One in four adults or more in Sierra Leone,the Dominican Republic,and Haiti would also like to move to the US permanently.

Three countries with the highest percentages of people who would like to relocate to the US permanently are in Africa,seven are in Central America and the Caribbean,with the remaining country,Cambodia,in Asia.

Gallup said about 13 per cent of the world8217;s adults or about 630 million people 8212; say they would like to leave their country and move somewhere else permanently. For roughly 138 million people,that somewhere else would be the US 8212; the number one desired destination for potential migrants,the poll said. The UK,Canada,and France also rank among the top choices for potential migrants,it said.
