    As I mentioned elsewhere, the results of this election make me extremely optimistic about Russia and China.

    H1B has been hotly debated on HN for long enough for everyone here to know how abused the system is. H1B is, indeed, being abused to mass-import low-wage indentured labor specifically to undercut local engineers and save on labor costs at the expense of quality.

    Also, hasn't Trump been vocal enough that he wants to fast-track citizenship for international students and, in fact, boost talented immigration? Why is NPR being so blatantly partisan that even non-Americans can immediately smell it?

      It's sad how the news media has turned into a bunch of rapid, foolish dogs that run in packs.

    The one ray of hope is that Trump has people in his inner circle now who know how important talented immigration is.

    Same case for startups where Europeans often times move to USA because of more simple regulations/bureaucracy and easier access to capital. But if they can't immigrate to USA then they will be stuck in EU.
