Thanks for listing it out. It's a shame that people in this dilemma tend towards hyperbole, even going to the extent of calling it slavery.

There are hurdles no doubt, but life is unfair. Deal with it.

On a personal level, it is very important to deal with the unfairness in live, because as you've pointed out, unfairness is inevitable.

However, "life isn't fair" isn't a good mantra for forming public policy, either. One way to deal with unfairness is to fight against it rather than just accepting it.

Sure, but what fight are we talking about? We can't vote and we have zero influence.

The general sentiment on immigration is negative and has been negative since the recession of 2008. The US Congress can't even pass a budget, good luck in passing immigration reform. Sometimes it's important to accept ground realities and making the best of what you have, rather than having an idealistic pipe dream.

"Deal with it" is perhaps the worst possible thing to say in any situation.

As opposed to confronting reality and not being in denial?

We have a difference of opinion. I'd rather be told the truth than have someone showing sympathy which is of no use whatsoever.
