Except this guy (and many, many, many others) is not one of the "several billion". He is highly educated, and highly intelligent. This sets him far apart from the majority of the world's population, which is predominantly impoverished, uneducated, and illiterate. Surely he is not just another one of the uneducated, unwashed masses that America fears so much from its immigrants? I simply don't understand why productive, educated, intelligent people are ever turned away. These people will find opportunities elsewhere - and make some other country more powerful in exchange. There was time when you would give your kidney to be in the USA - what Americans need to wake up and realize that that day has passed. The US is still a very valuable place to be, particularly for a tech entrepreneur, but the advance in the rest of the world over the past two decades has been even more dramatic. The US is unquestionably losing its edge, and IMO there is more justification than ever for a (finally) sane immigration policy.
