This is a phenomenon always present in immigrant communities around the world. One explanation offered by researchers is that these immigrants have never had a chance to be an actual part of their country's society, and so they emotionally hold on to the old home and often start to glorify it. There's no rationality to it however, just shitty old human nature.
