As a Canadian, I have to say that the logic in Paul Graham's essay seemed a lot clearer to me. We get a lot of good people you guys don't get in.
I'm one, actually. I run a bootstrapped business, and would be contributing a bunch of revenue to the US treasury if there was a clearcut visa class for me. As it is I'm happily in Canada, exporting products to Americans and spending the proceeds in Canada.
There are a LOT of issues with the specific's of Graham's essay, but many replies treated it as if letting in more people was per se a bad thing, no matter how it is implemented.
- davidw 12y ago> the logic in Paul Graham's essay seemed a lot clearer to me How so? I wrote this to refute a lot of the mistakes I see on these immigration discussions, so if you can list specifics, I'd be appreciative.
- graeme 12y agoOops, my own writing wasn't clear. I left off the end of the sentence. I meant to say: PG's essay was clearer to me, as a Canadian, than it seems to have been to other people here on Hacker News (who generally oppose it) Your essay was clear!
