Re: migration patterns to communist and socialist countries

In addition, "Quantifying the exact number of migrants from communist and
socialist countries who move to the U.S. specifically due to religious
persecution is difficult because U.S. immigration data does not categorize
arrivals by their specific "ground" of asylum (e.g., religion vs.
politics) in public aggregate statistics. However, religious persecution
is a major and documented driver for asylum seekers from several of these
nations, particularly where the state is officially atheist or enforces a
state religion. "

In particular, "Religious persecution is a leading cause of asylum claims
from China."  It also lists North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba.  And,
specifically, Sikhs and Christians in India, and Catholics in Nicaragua.
