Baloney, please point out exactly where I said that above. In fact I am saying that companies abuse h1-b limitations to raise performance requirements to unethical levels and term that 'meritocracy'

>This has nothing to do with immigration

The threat of being uprooted with your family and forced to leave the country is a very real thing which is the whole point of the article, duh. It has *everything* to do with immigration.

The technical term for someone unaffected by 200k deaths they personally ordered is "sociopath."

I'm fully aware of all the arguments for and against deploying the atomic bomb in Aug 1945 exactly as was done, but putting that aside, the fact that Truman was completely personally unaffected by all the civilian lives that were annihilated is fairly despicable.

this is actually the real answer. there are plenty of people for whom those abandoned structures and villages would be an upgrade over where they are now.
