YelloPaddedCell @YelloPaddedCellReplying to @MorlockPBut we aren't importing a few scientific geniuses to work on a scientific breakthrough to defeat Hitler, we're importing millions of foreigners to code for@fitbit and do accounting for@KPMG.

7/ also "saving a buck" is not a bad thing; all of our lifestyle and freedoms are based on efficiency (without technology we'd likely still have slavery, bc people prefer evil to hard work). The whole point is to consider TRADEOFFS. H-1Bs have both costs and benefits.
