I could not agree more.

I am an immigrant to the USA

When people here complain and act negative about the future, I always ask them, do you know how long the line of people is to emigrate here? Do you know how many people wait years and years for a visa to come here?

Now check the immigration departments of China, India and Russia. How long are their waiting lists?

America will always win because here, I truly believe it is _what_ you know rather than _who_ you know.

I personally have been many times more successful here than I was back in the UK, because the opportunities here are so much greater.

And whether you agree with him politically or not, in what other country of the world could somebody like Barack Obama become president?
