I totally get your point and even agree with you from an ideological perspective. That said, if I'm Bill Gates, I want the most possible hours for the lowest possible payout at the highest possible quality. If America indeed has a bunch of unemployed computer science graduates AND Bill Gates wants folks from outside, the only possible reason is that the money is talking, and if we're going to go along with good ol' American values, then WHY can't the money talk?
We got mad at Microsoft for bucking capitalism. He's against these immigration policies because he's supporting capitalism in the grandest possible way: lining his pockets and those of his homies. Man, that's noble.
So yeah, I don't like his reasoning, but in terms of looking out for his own interests, he's as genuine as you can get.
*shrug* The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has been saying for years that we've been sucking it up in America, so I can hardly blame him, at least not for THIS particular comment.
I swear there must be a better way to register sarcasm on the interwebs, because half the time, I can't tell the difference between sarcastic and, oh, you know...stupid. And we all know that there's a lot of stupid strewn about.
