Didn’t watch the video, but the bar chart that shows up in the link graphic seems to tell the story...
The storyteller seems to not be sharpest knife in the drawer,... he/she thinks Puerto Rico is not a part of the United States, and moving to PR
constitutes emigration,...
P.s. Need to make PR a state so we can get a few more blue state senators!
Woke!

You should watch the animation! The interesting part for me was watching the changes in standing of the various destination countries over the years.
The numbers are also presented in the animation.

Approx. 3 million out of 330 million moved to another country. I guess most Americans prefer to stay home and Mexico seems to be the place to go if
you do move. That is probably due to family since Hispanics makeup a large percentage of America.

WOW, I was surprised with the early numbers for Canada but I figured Mexico would be on top. Why did Canada slip so far back? What changes took place
to cause the shift?
My dad was born in Canada to American parents, when the Vietnam draft came a long he said I'm Canadian A, the government drafted his ass...
Another whole story behind that! Like his citizen ship was taken after 911, after two tours of duty!

I would think that another major reason for Mexico to be on top is because it's closer than everything else and is also cheap and warm (unlike
Canada).
Countries below Australia are likely people originally from those places. It's interesting that India is not on the list, there are more immigrants
to the US from there than from Bangladesh.
