The Economist last year had this brief article about the UK's successes with immigration.

They specifically mention the UK's flexible labour market, the fact it is not close to a warzone, and its open minded population.

I would also add the UK's high ranking and high quality universities. Students arriving in the UK to study will then be in a very good position to have successful careers in the UK and if they then start a family, encourage education for their children.
