Note that he does not say in the interview that, in addition to paying his taxes, obeying the laws, and donating to the community he worked his arse off.
My daughter, not a US national, took two degrees, in engineering and mathematics, in four years at the University of Washington. After graduation, she was able to secure employment at a laser engineering company in a small town 30 miles east of Seattle, where she lives. She never misses work, happily takes all the extra work she is asked to do, and has advanced up the ladder since she started. She has discussed with her bosses the situation re: hiring foreigners.
The company has a hard time getting qualified US citizens to work there because they do not want to drive that far to work, and they make too many demands. They have a hard time getting even the few US nationals that they need to work on their USDoD contracts.
I paid a lot for her education, and I am happy that she has this opportunity to legally pursue a career and US citizenship.
There is a description on what constitutes being an American. Your daughter fits that description. God bless her.
Fixed.
