This is insane. We want to let illegal immigrants cross the border so that we can get our grass cut cheaply and eat out cheaply but we're unwilling to allow the very people my company needs to grow. Thanks USCIS!

As Michael Friedman said, "Pretty soon, we'll all be serving burgers to each other."

ever since 9/11 the green card process has become excruciatingly slow. There are a ton of CS Masters and PhD's who graduated around. that time. Their H1-B visas are going to start expiring in the next 1-2 years. With no way of legally staying back in the US, all these guys and gals are going to go back to India or China, start their own startups, get bought off by Google, Yahoo et al.. and live happily ever after. All YC'ers beware. This is potentially a new set of competitors for you.
