I didn't mean to sound glib. Of course not all communities are happy - many are deeply impoverished, overrun with cartels or politic issues, suffering from scarce resources whether from politics or weather-related issues. There is a massive difference between a lower-middle class neighbourhood in Mexico City and a poor village in Honduras where there is no education, jobs or security. The mass immigration isn't happening from areas where people are safe and comfortable, it's happening in places stricken by war for so long that people are desperate. Most people don't want to leave their families, their friends, their communities and culture. So yes, there are amazing parts of the world where in the same country there are people trying to emigrate due to bad circumstance, and those who are truly happy with what they have.
