That was exactly my thought. I’m in the tech industry, and so we work with a high percentage of people on visas and such. A lot of people want to come to the US because of the advantages in salary and exchange rates, but will then move back home after making their nest egg. I’m told you could retire in comfort in India with $1M USD. Combine that with returning to family and culture, and I think that even if this statistic applies only to people with what were long term immigration plans, it seems an entirely reasonable number.
