As an immigrant who has been all around this country, I don't think it's the lack of hospitality to immigrants that keeps them away from places like Ohio. Immigrants don't go there for the same reason native-born Americans aren't moving there (and in fact, Ohio is a net exporter of domestic migration) -- it's perceived as not having economic opportunities. Your cause and effect seems reversed; that is, Ohio is older and whiter because people have been moving out, and not that people are avoiding Ohio because it is older and whiter.
