This whole episode is pretty depressing. But, it's far better for people to live without illusions about the nature of their bosses, etc.

At the risk of a hundred downvotes, I wonder how many people can see the parallels in the current silicon valley push for "immigration reform."

Having watched H1B farms style companies up close and personal, I can say there is very little to recommend about this model of employment, other than the CEOs like having a lower employee expense base. It might sound more exciting to hear the pitch from a wunderkind like Mark Z, but it's still the same story.
