Arun, the figures given look like actual migrants, not counting their descendants. There are swarms of descendants. You could quintuple that 20 million. Also, people are not fungible despite the current fashion to pretend so. Those migrating people take with them massive cognitive horsepower. Immigration rules specify attributes that are causally derived from IQ. That's why migration is commonly called a brain drain.
