Thanks for that. I think the US tech worker visa cap is just a nasty form of nationalistic protectionism. I am a US born citizen, but that does not mean that I shouldn't have to compete with someone born internationally. Morally that just seems wrong, and there is evidence to prove it could be economically harmful.

People are concerned with inequality between nations, but policies like this prevent opportunity worldwide and hurt US workers and consumers for the sake of "protecting US workers".

It IS a form of nationalistic protection. That is the whole point.
