Yeah those J1 visas must go too.

Not interested in helping them. Interested in ending a system that is not working out well for Americans.

I don't care about the restaurant. If I care so much about the ramen I will either pay more or make it at home.

Is the salary public or also the stock options?

Short time means 10-20 years, plenty of time for me to sort things out for myself.

That's fine. Then those countries do better, and the world becomes a better place.

Then those countries will eventually get a higher cost of living, and live the good life. That's a good outcome as well.

If the top 5% of everywhere else moves here, your children will end up in the bottom 5%.

I don't want America to be a global superpower. Too expensive. I'd rather be a quiet, happy country that just takes care of its own and chillaxes.

I tried. Not enough brains or ability.

I am an immigrant. I came here because there was too much competition where I came from.

And it's not a race thing, it's a money thing. Hong Kong Chinese don't want paltry wages so they import Filipinos. Lebanese don't want paltry wages so they import Sri Lankans. Even black South Africans don't want paltry wages to they import Zimbabweans.

Exactly. Whenever business leaders moan about 'shortages', they say "We can't find Americans to do the job" when they mean "We can't find Americans to do the job at the shitty wage we want to pay"
