Better work opportunities, education and living standards. Even if most of these first-generation immigrants live in ugly, insecure neighborhoods which often lack basic services, they have better incomes. As an example, many people immigrate from rural communities of poorer Mexican states like Oaxaca, Guerrero and Chiapas which have nominal incomes per capita (2010) of only US$2,898, US$3,236 and US$2,741 respectively, while Mexico City has an income per capita of US$14,178. This difference in incomes is as huge as poorer Syria or Egypt and say, richer Chile or Hungary, which are almost industrialized countries.
The most important factor would be increased economic opportunities, accompanied by better education, health and quality of life prospects.
Using cold numbers as a reference, the average salary of a Mexican field laborer is only US$684 per year, while the average worker's salary in a city such as Mexico City is US$4,456 per year.
An ongoing industrialization process and declining wages on rural communities are the main driving factor. It is also more apparent on more economically developed countries, such as Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica.

What was the major reason that small farmers left their farms to work in factories?
First of all, the pay in factories was much greater than that of farmers at the time. Also, the income was more steady in factories because it did not depend on environmental conditions like the production of crops does. There were also more opportunities in the city for education for their children. Finally, as agriculture became more mechanized, smaller farmers now had to compete with larger farmers who had much faster machines and larger land and could produce more crops on less land in less time.

Also, many wealthy people, including those in the congress, left Mexico City for fear of their lives. Without a clear leadership, the Mexican government fell in disarray, prompting those who were left behind to sign the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty, to prevent the full takeover of Mexico.

Where did Aztecs move after they left central Mexico and why?
They didn't. They migrated from the US southwest, from a mythical place known as Aztlan, and migrated southward into present-day Mexico City. It is believed a civil war or another such conflict resulted in several factions from the original Aztecs to split and become the Mexica. Hence the name of their city: Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
