Why do almost all immigrants choose to settle in large cities instead of small towns or rural areas, even if they didn't live in a big city in their country of origin?

Larger cities provide many advantages over smaller towns. There are more jobs. People are more accustomed to those of other nationalities. Additionally, they are more likely to find those who are like them.

They do it to mesh with other immigrants and to get jobs. These generally are more abundant in larger, more urban areas. Jobs follow people and people follow jobs. That is why rural areas lose population and urban areas gain population.

In a city, an immigrant is more likely to find a job, people who speak the same language, a greater degree of tolerance by the majority and the ability to get an education or training. Even if an immigrant came from a rural area, there's little, if any, support for immigrants in rural America - no ethnic neighborhoods, no multilingual schools or communities, no jobs for people with little formal education or ability to speak English.
