Interesting how South America, with several countries made up majorly of immigrants, receives almost no new migrants now. Meanwhile the middle-east population is fleeing and being replaced with asians?

"fleeing" and "replaced" are loaded terms, I don't think you can derive that from this data. That said, there's a lot of workers being imported from Asia to the middle-east for their ambitious construction projects, could that explain it?

  Eh? Persians gave the name "Hindus" to the people living in that area. But they had their own religion, Zoroastrianism. They didn't bring Hinduism because they didn't have Hinduism.

    Indians called it hinduism, but it came from iran.

      It was then the shared pre-Zorastrian Indo-Aryan Vedic religion.

        They're not sure on the name of it though it was likely they had a theme song that sounded familiar to Hanson's mmmbop

    Uh. Zoroastrianism was a "reform" of Iran's Indo-Aryan religion that was closer to Vedic Hinduism.

Internal migration has mostly saturated capacity all accross the region in South America It'll take a while until anyone relaxes

At least in Argentina that is because it's not the land of opportunities it used to be in the late 19th/early 20th century.

None of these regions have homogeneous conditions that mean anyone needs to be replacing fleeing locals to explain these stats. Millions of migrant workers are in the Gulf, and many of them come from the Philippines. Millions of people have fled conflicts in other parts of the Middle East.
