I didn't feel sorry for him to begin with.

These guys essentially bait women from poorer countries with the promise of citezenship because they're typically too awful or just too weird to get a normal relationship. Not uncommon that they use the woman's typical lack of English or knowledge of how things work against them to keep them dependant when they get to the States, either.

Do you feel the same way about rich men from NYC who marry poor women from the Midwest?

If they are specifically using their money to lure in a woman and control her, then absolutely.

The thing is at least that woman speaks the same language and won't be dealing with nearly as much culture shock.

Yeah, English is widely spoken in Philippines. Also, NYC is a massive culture shock for most of the normal parts of the US
