I'm curious to know what his ulterior motive is behind this, as I've never been able to take anything he says at face value.

  Reading the article, it's not just Mark Zuckerberg who's behind this (there's also our Paul Graham, Marissa Myers, Drew Houston, etc. etc.). But if you really want to find an ulterior motive to go off on them, I suppose you could view the immigration reform as being something sinister. Why siphon all the high talent from all other places? I mean, for example, places like India need their smart people more than we need them, they have their own problems they need to solve. W're depriving them of resources to solve problems much more dire than ones we have. Why not just put all their might into putting their energy on properly educating our youth, our unemployed, giving them an environment in which they can excel (more financial help, grants, etc.). What truly would be a noble change to immigration policies would be heightening acceptance of refugee asylum cases -- let the homosexuals, atheists, etc. flee here from places where they're persecuted. The article says they'll push for 'higher standards and accountability' in schools... but you could view that as just a cover (if you're intent on having a cynical interpretation to all things Mr. Zuckerberg).
