OP is not stopping anyone from pursuing higher education or working hard or getting a high paying job, they are merely describing their experience of the broken system and not asking for your sympathy.

Please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. Perhaps you don't owe the GP better, but you owe this community better if you want to post here.

Noted, but I didn't feel my comment unsubstantive.

The OP comes to America as an immigrant (as did I), makes more money in one year than most American's make in 20. My comment simply put his "problem" into perspective.

There was no information in it other than that the GP makes more money than others, which was missed by no one, and a vague expression of resentment about it. I'm afraid that's completely unsubstantive by HN standards.

Why stop at immigration restrictions then, just jail and confiscate all the goods from immigrants.
