Whether or not that's a good/true reason is another discussion.
They just want foreigners to be Indians and the remaining Europeans that will actually want to go to the US.
Comparing to US immigration support following the Vietnam war this is shameful.
How many immigrants from an island with less than 50k inhabitants are there?
Also, Cuba surprises me, doesn't the USA usually love to make a big deal about people fleeing big bad evil communists?
"Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert lebt es sich ganz ungeniert"
translates to: “Once your reputation is ruined, you can live completely uninhibited.”
We used to be great shape in regards to the age depopulation bomb.

A pause in processing of immigration visas affects the tech industry and is relevant to most of the audience who lives in the US.

I'd like to see a 100% tax on Visa workers combined with salary floors per work classification. A tech worker that needs to be imported from another country shouldn't be paid less than 6 figures IMO, and depending on the position upwards of twice that. The tax itself should specifically be used to fund grants for STEM undergrads and graduates.
Just my own take on this, and I do have a personal stake and took a 40% pay cut last year just to be able to keep working.

It is off-topic.
>On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
