UK ---> USA; I'm 17 years old, planning for the future, would appreciate advice!

Contrary to what many believe,immigrants don't take American jobs..they are not even eligible for most jobs. Immigrants either work in the lowest,dirtiest jobs that no American wants,

Not really true, the wages for these jobs are too low, these jobs were getting done 30 years ago when the number of immigrants was much lower. The issue here is businesses lowering pay because they can get away with it if there is an oversupply of labour.

or in the super specialized jobs that few Americans are qualified for.

Here are the top H1B sponsors and the corresponding wage, they account for the majority of H1B visa's -

Infosys $79,201
TCS $69,648
IBM $83,248
Wipro $70,306
Accenture $77,953

All are IT consultancy firms, their work isn't especially high skilled, they are primarily hired by companies to reduce the cost of bottom tier IT work. This should be evident from the salaries.
