Explanation:

1. Mexico is often the Latin - American country with the most emigrants to the U.S. due to its proximity and economic factors. Common Asian countries with significant emigration to the U.S. are China, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, due to economic opportunities, family reunification, and educational pursuits.
2. Many countries sent the most immigrants to the U.S. during Stage 2 of the demographic transition. In this stage, there is rapid population growth and often limited economic opportunities at home, prompting people to seek better lives abroad.
3. Without specific data, it's difficult to fill in the chart accurately. However, countries like Canada and Australia often seek more immigrants for economic reasons. Some countries with aging populations may wish to maintain current levels, while others with strong anti - immigration sentiment may want fewer immigrants. Some developing countries may not have well - defined immigration policies.
4. According to Zelinsky, emigration to other countries usually takes place when a country enters Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model. In this stage, there is rapid population growth and high international emigration as well as interregional migration from rural to urban areas.
