I've observed any discussion about US immigration (no matter how relevant to tech) gets booted off the HN front page, probably deprioritized. I'm not sure if it's something others have noted too. I do wonder why though. Is it because it doesn't generate any new discussion and just attracts flame wars ?

Probably. It can't really go much further than: "No, it's not our responsibility to help these people, and the system pretty decent already." "Yes, it's our responsibility to help these people, and the system needs to be changed to support that." No real way to move people from these positions. I guess in short it's a morality thing. Personal belief. Not so much about technicality.
