I'm going to get penalised for this but I have to say it because I presume no-one else will: Why the hell is this on HN? It has nothing directly related to anything to do with HN, and clearly has an agenda from the article's rather obviously biased language. Most countries limit "legal" immigration anyway, by means of minimum requirements. My country, the UK, has some of the more stricter ones, an example is that students have to be earning £30k salary to stay in the country after their studies.

Rather shoddy journalism. It's been especially bad on HN recently...

Others may not say it because HN practice is to use the flag button, not post that kind of question.

If I had to guess, it's because HN users are primarily in the 'tech' industry, which itself (in the US) is made up of a relatively large number of legal immigrants. So it's very likely this stupid direction from donald and his friends will impact a few HN users and/or their friends/family.
