The Yale degree is still valuable even if the author can't stay in the United States.

Yup. There's quite a bit of white privilege dripping from this article. I'm supposed to feel sorry for a Ivy League lawyer? What if this was written by a 33-year old Haitian who went to Cal State Fullerton? Would it get the same reaction on HN? Or would it even be published by vox?

The author isn't white. Maybe don't have a knee jerk reaction and using white as a near epithet.

Vox has other articles on those from mexico/latin America.

You imply people and organization are racists without even knowing the facts. Maybe check your own bias.
