There are varieties of reasons why people would want to migrate to other places for example, economic, political, social, and environmental issues in their native country. Economically, people might want to come to the United States because they may find that there are better job opportunities here. Another reason why people might want to migrate is because of the conditions in their country. A person’s country might become hostile due to war. It could also become hard to live in because of poverty or dangerous environments. The most common social reason for migrating is to be closer to family members and friends who have already migrated.

Some people choose to migrate, while others are forced due to the previously stated conditions such as war or violence. The people forced to migrate due to these reasons are called refugees. A refugee is also a kind of immigrant. They make up a small population of the number of immigrants in this country usually coming from the eastern hemisphere. While refugees are forced to migrate other immigrants have other factors that influence their movement these are called push and pull factors.
"Push factors are the reasons why people leave an area, ie what pushes them away from their home. Push factors include: lack of services, lack of safety, high crime, crop failure, drought, flooding, poverty and war. "
"Pull factors are the reasons why people move to a particular area, ie what pulls them to a new place. Pull factors include: higher employment, more wealth, better services, good climate, safer, less crime, political stability, more fertile land,lower risk from natural hazards." http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/population/migrationrev3.shtml

What are the most common push or pull factors? Especially in connection witn the United States. Does push or pull affect people who migrate in a different region but in the same country?
Well, in connection within the United States the common push factor will be proverty/war and for pull factor will be probably more wealth and employment opportunity because as many people say the United States is where you find alot of job opportunities. For the most part, it might affect people migrating but not much if they aren't at the country at all. If you have proverty in one region or have less employment opportunity there might be a chance that the others will be slightly the same. But they still have the same problems.
