In the case of economic migration (usually labour migration), differentials in wage rates are prominent. Poor individuals from less developed countries can have far higher standards of living in developed countries, than in their originating countries. Escape from poverty is a tradition push factor, the availability of jobs is the related pull factor. This kind of migration may be illegal immigration in the destination country (emigration is rarely illegal).
Natural disasters can amplify migration flows. The migrants may plan to send remittances to their family. For the poor in undeveloped countries, the economic pressure to migrate can become so high that when legal means are restricted, people immigrate illegally.
For some migrants, education is the primary pull factor (note that students on limited visas are often not defined as immigrants). Retirement migration from rich countries to lower-cost countries with better climate, is a new type of international migration. An example is immigration of retired British citizens to Spain
Non-economic push factors include persecution (religious and otherwise), oppression, ethnic cleansing and even genocide, and risks to civilians during war. Political motives traditionally motivate refugee flows - to escape dictatorship for instance.
Some migration is for personal reasons, based on a relationship (e.g. to be with family or a loved one). Evasion of criminal justice (avoiding arrest) is a negative personal motivation.

Your obviously an American who cant think of other people and their needs. People are living in such poor conditions all around the world and you just care about your own comfort. People all around the world are living in overpopulated areas and this earth does not ONLY belong to you. While your country is waging wars in other countries, living in luxury and enjoying yourself, people all around the world are looking for a sanctuary.......a refuge. you are SO spoilt
