No need a trophy, thank you. I paid taxes (lots!) to social security in US and three other countries with no chance of getting anything back. But I'm fine with that, I got bitcoin. I had to leave the US when my work visa could not be transferred to another employer due to visa cap and other legal bullshit. But I doubled my income in the UK. My point is, not all migrants are bad for "your" country. I put quotation marks because we don't pick birth places nor parents, so nothing to be proud of. And also, there are dumb and smart people of all DNA origins.

What about Mastercard to avoid visa requirements?

In Los Angeles no one cares about immigration status since the rule of law is antithetical to Spanish speakers

Plus California is a sanctuary state

I did not self deport to Spain. I found a job offer in the UK, and they did not have work visa caps. People's lives are unbearable in their home countries because the collective west exploits them as resource colonies. Cause and effect.

you were forced into slave labor in USA? you were forced to be a drama queen?

Green card status forces worldwide taxation by the US, much like citizenship. I am glad my life did not follow that path.

We need to clarify the definition of migrants

If you have a valid visa you are not a migrant

Also a tourist is not a migrant

Regarding smart and dumb people of all DNA origins, clearly there are patterns and trends that cannot be ignored unless you actually believe in the blank slate

I am surprised you didn’t say dna is a social construct

Trends come from a child's environment: family, teachers and friends/neighbors, not DNA. So I do believe in tabula rasa, how else can it be?

A migrant with a valid visa is still a migrant. Without - an illegal migrant.

The legal status cannot be established without a due process, just based on ethnicity.
