Well, currently we are making it very difficult for PhD candidates and med school students to come here and be confident that they can come and go back to visit their families. Scientists are not exactly bottom of the totem pole.

Plus, you will see the biggest resistance not from the upper classes, but from the people who are working class.

Regarding last sentence, that is for big historical waves of immigration. Obviously this problem for scientists and doctors is a new thing.

Tell the Indians that they didn't pay!

Yes, they paid dearly by losing their land and their way of life.

They actually paid a much higher price: Near extermination due to waves of diseases they had no natural immunity to. Entire tribes vanished and those that remained were decimated. Then in the 19th century the U.S. government undertook a systematic program to eliminate bison from the Great Plains with the goal of eradicating the remaining Indian populations, which depended on bison as a natural resource for food, clothing, etc. So I'm afraid the original inhabitants of North America did in fact "pay for the Pilgrims' welfare," and then some.

US was racist in its own way.
In a way still is, but laws make it sound like racism does not exist.

Everyone can hate the immigrants. That is not politically incorrect
