They are there because it seemed like immanent doom where they lived so they left. Now the starving mass has nowhere to go, and no power to enforce their desire to leave. Mass exodus sucks on foot carrying only only what can be put on yours' and your families' backs (which is often just the youngest child).
Any less than full blown en-masse refugee-ism will have to be performed under law. Which means those with Saleable Skills (tm) and Employment (read bend to The Man) or significant financial backing will be the only ones with enough resources to leave.
Those who cannot work the existing system to their betterment will be trapped in the "lower classes compartment" and have to thrive on there own and the survivors will provide a cheap labour pool because of their need.
