The way people speak here, it seems every American/US immigrant is in their way to become a billionaire.

Yea, you have a better chance of being struck by lighting or winning the lottery as becoming a billionaire in the US. That's what the rich tell to the masses to keep the current system, that everyone can move up in the US.
Have you guys seen all the immigrants from Mexico and central America, the first thing they do is sign up for social welfare when they come here.
The PHD immigrants from India coming here are the exception to the masses of low skilled immigrants.
Have you seen small towns in Illinois or Indiana lately? It's sad how small towns have gone to shit, when I go though them I see tons of addicts with heroin needle marks these days. The opioid crisis is a huge cancer in America, that no one seems to care about. These people aren't becoming the next Elon Musk anytime soon, and are the ones getting on disability in massive numbers in the last 10 years. It's caused by the lack of social mobility in society, where large masses of people feel like they have no future.
