Is that a general "you" or are you replying directly to me? Because if it's the latter, you need to read what I wrote more carefully.

I'm one of those immigrants I wrote about. My education, back where I was born and grew up, was both free and top-notch.

The point of my reply was to explain why "if we eliminated all H1B workers, Americans in the IT industry would be at full employment" is a disturbingly naive idea.

Speaking of disturbing oversimplifications:

> The only thing that you need to complain about is yourself that you did a wrong calculation for such a life-influencing decision of going to college.

If you think that life is as simple as that, you either haven't lived very long or were privileged enough to live in a bubble where things are so cut-and-dried black-and-white.
