158 million migrants want to move to the US, world’s top pick

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.
“Although the image of U.S. leadership took a beating between 2016 and 2017, the U.S. continues to be the most desired destination country for potential migrants,” Gallup said.
And as the border war has seen, the United States is a huge draw from those in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Honduras. Half of the citizens in those countries want out.

It also noted that the desires expressed by potential migrants doesn’t mean the U.S. will seen a 50 percent increase in population.
“While this increase in the desire to migrate may set off alarms among those who would like to see fewer people on the move, Gallup typically finds that the percentage of those who have plans to move is much lower than the percentage who would like to move,” said the survey company.
And Trump's immigration policies also make that unlikely, having put some limits on refugees and other immigrants.

Half of Honduras, El Salvador, Domincan Republic want to leave; USA top target...

We need a militarized border and rules of engagement to stop them, not arrest them to process them. Border Patrol can't do it. DOJ can't process them. DHS can''t detain them. The system we have doesn't work and hasn't worked for 30 years. If ever Republicans are once again in charge of all 3 branches, that needs to be the call to arms. The only other solution is a Trump solution that doesn't involve Agencies, Congress or Courts, something along the lines of:

Marines on the Border. Concertina Wire on the Fence. Judy's Plan B on the Home Countries.

Yeah, Americans want a "secure border", but they don't want it bad enough to actually achieve it. That's what the 2018 mid-terms said loud and clear, so a President when you have one who wants to, is the only individual to save this country under our system.

Military on the border - Not working and unsustainable in the long term (2,000 miles of border).
Concertina wire - Only being used as a quick short term fix. Not a long term solution.
Judy's Plan B - Not a workable solution and would only encourage more illegal immigration.

I chose the North Pole...send them all there!
