Not really. Very few living in First World nations would prefer to live here than in their homeland. Of course folks in the Third World want to live here, just as they want to live in any other First World nation from the UK to Germany to France. In fact, the top ten countries for immigrants to the US are all in either Central America or Asia.

FWIW, we are 14th in terms of percentage of foreign-born population.
