6.2 Million Mexicans Want to Move to U.S., Says Gallup Poll Monday, June 07, 2010 By Melanie Hunter-Omar

(CNSNews.com) – A new poll shows 6.2 million Mexicans would like to move permanently to the United States if they could – almost half the 14 million Mexicans who said they would like to move outside of their native country.

Canada and Spain were listed as the other top destinations that Mexicans cited.

Gallup compiled a list of the top 10 countries by highest projected population of potential migrants who say they would like to move to the United States. That list also includes: China (22.9 million), India (17.1 million), Nigeria (16.6 million), Ethiopia (9.2 million), Bangladesh (7.8 million), Brazil (7.7 million), Philippines (5.8 million), Vietnam (5 million), and Japanese (3.3 million).

Gallup concluded that if all adults worldwide who said they would like to move to another country actually did so, the U.S. could see a net population gain of 60 percent. On the other hand, Mexico could see net population losses as high as 15 percent.

According to Gallup, the survey is considered to be significant, because even though the results show people’s aspirations rather than intentions, it is an important consideration for world leaders who want to proactively manage migration and migrant policy in their countries.

6.2 Million Mexicans Want to Move to U.S., Says Gallup Poll,p> Don't believe it. I know earlier polls have shown that several times that number would like to move to the USA.

You may have that wrong. I don’t believe they all really want to “get out” of Mexico. Some just want to bring Mexico here.

So they turn their own country into a lawless sh*tbox and now want to do the same for us.

Wonderful.
