United states: 47 million (1/5 world"s total) Most (157 million in 2015) come from middle income countreis. Gets to bagwhati"s comment about migration: seems to be generated largely by people who have enoguh income toa ctually move (go through that hastle). People who have the opportunity to study abroad and move and setlle in another country. The wealthier the countries in the world get, the more likely they are to migrate. Most think that economic growth stalls migration (if there are opportunities at home, why migrate) In fact, it seems that if people have ability to move- they will. People coming in are not the world"s poorest.
