Family reunification with your uncle is impossible. You literally just proved my point.
You can't do it with an uncle and that does not make it hard. It is in fact incredibly easy.

A person in the US founding a startup has access and exposure to the deepest capital markets in the world, the largest domestic market in the world, a stable legal and political environment, and a phenomenal talent pool. A person doing the same in e.g. Vietnam has access to almost 0 VC funding, tiny domestic market, his efforts are hindered by a capricious and restrictive legal and political environment and a very lo…
Opportunities didn't exist in America until Americans made them exist. Apple was founded in a garage. Time for people in other countries to do the same for their own country. A good product or a good idea will surface. Your excuses fall on deaf ears.
Apple was founded after WWII (it would not exist today without a WWII victory).
Time for people in other countries to do the same what? War? More natives killing?
A good product or a good idea will surface tomorrow eventually.
But men being men will go where the money/food is today, no excuses needed. In fact no killing of natives needed either, so what's holding you back really?

For someone who has no immediate family in the USA (i.e. most people of the world) the reunification venue is closed. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here.

> It is a handout to corporations. You are right, but unfortunately you are not completely right. The problem lies in a universal truth: people buy cheap. A corporation that can afford lower wages is a corporation that can maintain its customer base. If American corporations stooped their effort in reducing costs, they'd lose their effort to foreign corporations with easier access to lower wages and less ecological c…
> The enemy of the poorest Americans are not the immigrants, but the richer Americans it's both
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The people who used to live in the USA disagreed with you. “A long time ago, this land belonged to our fathers, but when I go up to the river, I see camps of soldiers on its banks. These soldiers cut down my timber, they kill my buffalo, and when I see that, my heart feels like bursting.” – Satanta, Kiowa Chief https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_genocide_in_th... But almost all of them have been killed and…

>Recent immigrants tend to earn less than U.S.-born workers because of their lower level of education, lack of English, and in some cases because they are working without permission. They might also compete with existing workers with less education and put downward pressure on their wages, too. This is my biggest problem with immigration. It is a handout to corporations. If we think about the poorest Americans, this…

...and yet America was built by immigrants who couldn't make opportunities at home.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
America didn't used to be the country that offered those opportunities. Yet people built it and made it that way. Nothing is static people csn change anything These people need to do that in their own countries.
> didn't used to be That's false. By definition none would have come if there wasn't opportunity. You don't need to be a geography student to see that it wasn't just irreligious opportunity.

well in that context they were conquerors
Colonizers rather than conquerors. Colonizers are effectively migrants, by the very definition of the word.
they are typically the top performing GDP countries of their region with some of the best quality of life for their citizens
