    Surprising how many liberals seem to be as down on immigration as conservatives.

        @paulg Why would you assert that those who don't agree with your "95%" post are "anti-immigration liberals?"

        @paulg history of criminal salary-fixing, followed by inexplicable resistance to the idea of importing cheap labor. a mystery in an enigma!

        @charlesjo @paulg @bilalfarooqui the liberals in question are i think less against immigration than against the assumptions behind it

        @paulg If H1B isn't about depressing wages, tech companies would be fine with allowing H1B workers freedom to switch jobs, right?

        @paulg techies have co-opted the issue as a means to import cheap labor. That’s the part they’re “down on” so let’s not play dumb.

        @paulg AND: Much of the opposition is simply to immigration for the benefit of Tech, vs immigration for myriad of other industries/reasons.
