I'm trying to ask whats the relationship between how the population grows has to do with migration.
I've narrowed down that net migration effects population growth. But i'd like to go more in depth with it. Can You Help Please???

There are two factors that affect population size, and net migration is one of them:
1) natural increase - the net difference between births and deaths
and
2) net migration - the difference between those moving in and those moving out.
There is no "usual" situation with migration. Net migration simply depends on how many are moving in (+) compared to how many are moving out ( - ) and some areas are gaining and some are losing. So, to answer your question, we must consider both factors when determining population growth (or decline). We cannot say there is a direct relationship between population growth and net migration because of there is another important factor that is in play when it comes to population change, natural increase.

Population growth can cause emigration for any number of reasons: over-population in the area from which people migrate, excessive competition for jobs/land in an area; excessive competition for inheritance (of a business or land) between siblings.
On the other end of the equation you have population growth caused by immigration. Causes would be a land perceived as "empty" (the New World and Pacific region at particular times), and so ripe for the taking; a gold strike; a need for skilled labor in a newly settled area (San Francisco might be a good example); also calls for migrants by missionaries who have made inroads somewhere (Hawaii might be an example)
