This argument seems bit cheap. I'm not saying he is an expert, but you don't have to be diabetic to be expert of diabetes, for example. I would argue it might even make you biased about the subject.
If he was making an argument from data it would be cheap. But he's making an argument from lived experience against both data and someone who lives here.
Are you saying that the data is wrong and the only way to know what it's truly like to make it in America is to not live there? That's sounds insane.
