I think it's an especially important thing for tech, because Silicon Valley and tech companies in general employ a lot of talent that would be affected by these efforts, whether it's H-1B or naturalized citizens.

Tech workers suddenly not wanting to work in the US or entrepreneurs avoiding conferences and such in the US as a result of an increasingly hostile environment is a great way to crater tech companies as a whole.

I agree, and an article on tech brain drain to Europe would be interesting! But the worst thing for HN is that it becomes another Reddit, full of posts about US politics and comments about political views with no substance.

The site rules explicitly say news articles are not things we should post.

I was an immigrant in the US (J-2) and agree this is an issue, just not one for HN.
