These things have little to do with each other. We'd have to be running an absolute apartheid state to make things more oppressive than some of the places these people come from. Their priorities are a lot more immediate, and if any other Western state was easier to get to, they'd go there.
The days of people viewing US as a shining beacon of freedom are long over, but it remains a stable nation with economic opportunities. That's all that's required for immigrants to want to come, it's not a very high bar.
