What about persons outside US? the thing is that wile this does not directly influence, there are at least discussion about ethics of this and whether this really right action, thus at least (all else held constant) decreasing pool of IT professionals that are willing to support this with their labor.

Most of comments are not much political. (i.e. I see them as discussion of ethics/morales, not as person/party x agenda pushing/discussion)
