I know this won't be popular here at all for a couple reasons, one being that there are many who are like you immigrants or want to become immigrants; but thing is, beyond the individual interests and advantages of immigrating to a better place, there are massive impacts on a macro level that people don't quite consider in their pursuit of those self interests. What immigration really does, among other things, is drain capacity and even capital from countries that not only may have funded the education, but also are then losing intellectual and technical capacity. It is really not only a detriment to source countries, it is also a detriment to destination countries like the USA where immigrants like you are used as tools to ratchet salaries downward and also detracts and defuses pressures to improve the education system to supply the supposed missing supply. I get that many people don't quite get it, and it's difficult to wrap ones mind around something one has a self-interest in not acknowledging or seeing through the propaganda that the wealthy use to fool the majority to go along with things that are counter to their own interests in favor of the interest of the wealthy and powerful. Reality though is that immigration is really a rather nasty neo-colonialist ruse that is really just a huge wealth concentration mechanism.
