You're right, I'm luckier than several billions of people in the world. But my point is simply this: the fact that I wasn't born in the US was not in my control. If I want to move here, some people want me here, and it is in my control to do so, I just feel that I have the right to do so.

As far as the last few lines in my comment go: I was expressing bitterness at the fact that we foreign workers are being dismissed as worthless talent-less job-stealers. In my comment I wanted to be dismissive of those who are dismissive of me. I am not really so in real life, as I know that the ones being so vile here are not like that in person, because everyone is more complicated than that.

We are not expressing bitterness at foreign workers - we are expressing the reality of 30+ years of US jobs being exported. Good paying manufacturing jobs in the Midwest. Many, many towns are now empty poor shells inhabited by once middle class families who are now poor because their jobs were exported to foreign countries.

And now Americans are supposed to be willing to give up their jobs even within the U.S.?

Maybe if the 1%ers hadn't been so busy destroying the American middle class, you would be welcomed more generously.
