You're right but your overall argument is wrong for different reasons.

Earning a lot of money is a good proxy for contributing to society, except not everyone makes good money all the time.

I'm an immigrant and if you were to judge me based on my first few years in America, then clearly you shouldn't let me in to America. Now, at a later stage in my life, I would qualify for "startup visa" but if I wasn't already living in America for past 10 years, then I might not wanna come here (might not even be eligible for this visa to be fare).
