Migrating to a place where people can contribute more to society is both a core tenet of individual liberty and one of the most positive-sum things any human being can do.
But given that you both feign concern over visa holders' working conditions [1], while at the same time advocating for policies that lead to worse working conditions [2], perhaps you just hate freedom and were never acting in good faith in the first place.
It's just the process of learning the hard way that not heeding the warnings everyone gave is painful.
Now that they're facing consequences which we warned about (and prepped for as a result) they want to ignore it thinking that the monsters under the bed will go away.
And my point is those "half measures" have already incentivized us to offshore even more than before. Going with "full measures" will only further incentivize us to go ExAmerica.

Brain drain somewhere is brain gain elsewhere.
Barely a couple weeks ago resorting to H1B bashing was the norm on HN. Now that the chickens have come home to roost you want to ignore it.
I don't want to ignore anything. The H1B fee changes were a half-measure that didn't go nearly far enough.

Really? With all the H1B discussion on this site you prefer if it were completely one sided?
