发帖数: 139 | 2 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After the migrant crisis swept Europe in 2015, migration
emerged as a dominant, divisive issue not only in European politics, where
anti-migrant parties gained power, but also in politics elsewhere around the
world. This includes the U.S., where President Donald Trump's demand for
funding for a border wall with Mexico could lead to a partial government
shutdown yet this year.
Instead of any of this acting as a deterrent, Gallup World Poll surveys find
people's desire to migrate permanently to another country actually
increased between 2015 and 2017. Gallup's surveys throughout this period
found 15% of the world's adults -- or more than 750 million people -- saying
they would like to move to another country if they had the opportunity.
This is up from 14% between 2013 and 2016 and 13% between 2010 and 2012, but
still lower than the 16% between 2007 and 2009. |
