> America attracted immigrants who want a better life, and exploits most of its immigrant labor. Can you tell us more? I ask because I’m and immigrant. I know many many immigrants. And I don’t know a single one who feels “exploited by the US”. The opposite. 20% of S&P 500 companies are run by immigrant CEOs. That number rises to 60% if you take just the top 10 companies.

  You claimed America exploits immigrants. I present evidence of high rate of immigrant CEOs, which contradicts your claim. I’m also telling you that I and all the other immigrants I know don’t feel exploited, but in fact the opposite. So I don’t know why you think America exploits immigrants.

    Do you believe immigrant CEOs are the same as the millions of immigrants being paid poverty wages? I’m unsure how to have a rational discussion if you believe a few hundred or so (at best) lucky folks are the same as millions who are not. Immigrant CEOs are a rounding error, they do not matter one bit in this context.
