For what it’s worth America is one of the easiest if not the easiest place to be an immigrant, all things considered. You’ll find a community of your fellow countrymen already thriving, you have well established rights that are maintained by the rule of law, and so long as you try to fit in and work hard nobody will pay much mind. Many if not most digital nomads are Americans traveling from an open minded heterogeneous society to a more conservative and homogeneous one. No matter what you call it you’re leaving a society that is relatively pro immigration behind for a society that is very likely less inviting of foreigners!
I hope the recent wave of digital nomads makes the world a more open and inviting place but there will be growing pains. America has been the land of immigrants for centuries now and we still have blowback. Imagine going to some rural village or regional capital, making 10x more than all the locals while sitting at a hotel on your laptop, and expecting them to roll out the red carpet! Be respectful, be optimistic, and welcome to the life of an immigrant.
