Just wanted to make sure that FOSS hadn't made everyone open borders evangelicals.
Many demographics have huge unemployment problems, mostly NEETs, because the jobs they used to do are replaced by absolute lowest wage immigrants. This problem has been long brewing in the US, and I just don't understand how making it worse (more immigration) is going to solve it. At the same time I know I'm a massive beneficiary with overseas production of my products and cheap food at home.
Also, why is HN posting pure political articles so much now? I understand technology intersects with politics, but at this point anyone strongly advocating for saving the H#B programs are probably H1B beneficiary companies which are only the Big tech companies, so a story like this feels like it's rolled out to the tech community to soften you up to the plight of the H2B community.
If that's the case, this is nothing more than a propaganda feed.
