I am baffled as to what part of that is offensive. That immigrants choose to immigrate and put in the hard work to make that work out? Or are you objecting to the ideas that there are high barriers to immigration?
Maybe I am just misreading something, but I am confused.

Also a lot of immigrants are war refugees or US allies that had to be rescued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_people#U.S._and_Laotian_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_people#U.S._and_Laotian_...
