You assume they LIKE Earth. More likely is they see it has a 21% oxygen atmosphere and fear corrosion and fire if they come anyplace near the surface. They will see Mars or the asteroid belt as a far more habitable place. The Earth would be deadly to them.

They will naturally fear Earth because it has a 21% oxygen atmosphere. They will not want to deal with such a toxic environment. They will fear rust, corrosion and fire. They will avoid Earth for the same reasons we avoid going to Venus. The asteroid belt will look like a better source of materials
