- sean_patel 10y agoWhich they (you) are. This is comical!
- jstewartmobile 10y agoI don't think it's "PC and ridiculous" so much as it's self-serving censorship. Tech employer types who frequent this board are generally pro-visa while the rest of the country is suspicious of it. Some are suspicious for xenophobic reasons, others for economic ones. And before anyone accuses me of xenophobia, I think if we need their skills we should give them citizenship so they have the same rights, same mobility, and same negotiating power as the rest of us. If they don't have that parity, it lowers the bar for the entire market (citizen and resident alien).
- Mithaldu 10y agoAs someone who doesn't have deep background knowledge of the issue i brought up, i ask you: Please refrain yourself from tone-policing. If he is correct, then that is a valuable and interesting point to bring, and i would prefer to learn about it regardless of the words it is stated in. If he is incorrect, i would rather learn what the actual facts are. Downvoting him because he did not speak in a way you like is not conducive to learning in either way.
