Because HN caters to tech audience and majority of the H1-B petitioners are tech workers. Get it?

  I myself am an immigrant. I seriously don't see any need, because all the new immigrants will keep their eyes and ears open to see if their application is selected. All citizens/ existing immigrants, don't really care.

    Speak for yourself. There are plenty of us who care.

      It is ironical, in asking me to speak for myself you are using the "royal" us.

    I'm a citizen of the US and I care. Especially about the abuses inherent in the system.

    There are tons of things posted to HN, which inevitably some people find interesting and some people don't. The fact is, many H-1B visa beneficiaries are in the technology field. In addition, many technology companies are pushing for immigration reform and this isn't the first time I've seen the subject come up here. Your stance could be taken on any technology-related content posted to HN. "Those who care about Linux will keep their eyes and ears open to Linux news. It doesn't have to be posted here because most OS users have Windows" sounds pretty ridiculous to me.
