Depends upon the immigrant. Many reasons... for some it's the opportunities for higher education, especially in the medical field, tech, etc., others it's job opportunities, others it's the family is already here and still others, it's because they can get here... that's mostly those from south of the border.

@Nimbus The recent mess over immigration is due to our Congress not acting... much has changed in recent years in the global immigration picture, and our Congress has failed to keep up with the changes and get our legislation in line with what is going on around the world.
Just recently a bipartisan group got together and passed a bipartisan bill through The House, but Trump got the Republicans in the Senate to block it... he didn't want anything good to happen so he could point fingers and get more votes.
Immigration, short of a declared national emergency, should not be handled by any president... this is the responsibility of Congress and they are the ones we need to hold responsible for the current mess.
