Well, to be honest with you your questions a bit confusing.
But i think what your saying is why do poorer people from poorer countries migrate to richer countries than their own?
Well if thats it heres my answer:
Most poor people migrate to basically try and escape being poor. They leave in hope that in the better country they'll be able to earn money, buy a better house, and basically have a better life.
However most poor people who do this end up living in shanty towns or slums becaue they end up not being able to find jobs and struggle to survive.
Does this help?

There might be several reasons:
a) economic: to get a better paid job, or because they cannot do with what they can get at home - think of Africa. Bad chances to grow anything on the desert...
b) political: they might be hunted down by a despot or totalitarian system for their political convictions and/or actions;
c) social: To be closer to people in general, or maybe far from some exact people (mother-in-law, heheh ;p ). You can't socialize properly in the middle of a desert ;). Plus, if your fiancee is from a different country, you might want to migrate and live with her/him.
d) wars/natural disasters: people migrate in search for safety, because of wars or natural disasters
e) educational: People migrate for shorter periods, say, to University, to get better education; It is obvious that it is better to study in Oxford or Harvard than on some kind of unknown university. Better reputation, better pay when you get a job.
f)exiles: you can be exiled against your will. Still counts as emigration. I think.
g) religion: You might not be tolerated with your religion, or there might not be a religious facility (church, mosque)
h) climate: You might find that a climate is better somewhere else, or you might be simply made to change the place where you live, because the climate does not serve you;
i) Taxes: Lower taxes are naturally a good argument to emigrate.
j) Medical care: If you have some kind of disease that requires regular medical treatment, you might have to move closer to a hospital which has equipment needed in your state. Or you might simply want to move somewhere where there is ANY hospital. Hard to get medical help in the middle of a desert...
k) freedom: You might want to get away from a regime.
l) communication: If you got a job in London, but you live in country, you have no car, there are no buses, no roads, no nothing, you will probably want to move somewhere, where you can find any kind of transport to get to your job. Not necessarily in London, but somewhere, where you can find ANY kind of transport.

Hi. Mostly due to economics. If you own a house, lets say, and you sell it, you get less for it than you need to buy a new house in a more livable area.

The same reason why you would want to go from a derelict house to a fancy house in a nice area.

They do. Have you watched the news recently about the whole thing with "illegal immigration"?
Well, it takes a lot of money to move. But you need to move to make decent money. Doesn't that seem kind of cruel?

a better question might be why people who live in a bad place DON'T move to a good place.
