Hi Sese,
I would comment on the position of 'only' and the use of 'do'. If you want to emphasize the fact that people believe, it would be better to write: Many people do in fact ... 'Only' needs to be near the verb it qualifies: can only realise ...
The whole sentence would be:
Many people do in fact believe that they can only realise their dream if they emigrate to the US.

Hi,

I would suggest:
Political, economic and social factors tempted many immigrants to emigrate to the USA.
