Kinda hard to have a SWE sector worth protecting when its all H1B Visa applicants. You guys realize these companies have to be unable to find suitable candidates in order to import workers who will undermine labor, right? In addition, the mass influx of illegal migrant workers are reducing the otherwise buoyant wage effect of menial labor.

The idea that a mass influx of Indian workers taking top-tier STEM jobs is good for the USA is absolute self-accepted denigration of our society. But, Hacker News doesn't care, YCombinator has led the way in undermining high-end domestic labor for over a decade. Drink the Kool-Aid to get the funding, ammiright?

I remember when Trump and Sessions were going to make curbing H1b's their top priority in his first term.

Now Trump is backed by the VC's so I doubt he returns to it.
