Because the USA isn't a "foreign country". Its my country.

1. We have a worker shortage.

2. Immigrants are the kinds of people who drive new businesses. They're innately calculated risk-takers, as they've already passed the gauntlet of "Leave everyone I know to live somewhere else", and on the average benefit our economy greatly.

3. Sending these people home not only is terrible for their lives, its terrible for the USA. We have these visa processes because we've all agreed its better for us _AND_ them for them to stay around.

4. I'm sure the Twitter H1B workers were productive before this asshole bought out the company. I don't think our visa system / H1B system was designed for this scenario.
