42. Probably the same reason your ancestors didn't effect the change in their "own" country.

My Irish Grandmother didn't flee Ireland because she was too lazy to "effect change", she fled the poverty of County Mayo and, later, England, and later, Canada, to come here with 4 of her 6 kids to avoid starvation and squalor.

The same as the vast majority of most immigrants to this country. The same reason as most of this newest wave of immigrants don't "stay in their own countries and effect change."
