And that begs the question, if someone from China or India who comes here (as in many cases) with a few hundred $ and starts up a successful business, why can't someone who's born and brought up here and afforded all privileges, does not? My guess: motivation, ( the desire to work hard and succeed and not wallow in a sea of self-pity).

BTW I think that arguments also applies to the rabble who whine and moan about "foreign workers" taking "American jobs". Sure there are cases of abuse of the H1 and other visas, but on balance it has largely benefited the tech community.
