Why would Algeria's land size have anything to do with that?
Algeria is more than 80% desert and has a population of ~46 million. Non-desert area accounts for ~480k km^2 out of their ~2400k km^2 land . Europe has far more livable space than Algeria does. Spain is pretty comparable with a population of ~48 million in 505k km^2.
I get that there are political reasons, but "Algeria is big so Algerians shouldn't need to leave" is a pretty surface-level observation.
