  Qe can talk about substantive immigration policy once we have grown ups in charge of writing the laws. To write good laws, we need people who actually believe government exists to serve the people, not the American Taliban or the big corporate robber barons.

  U.S. immigration policy is, in fact, capable of fast action and flexibility. It just depends on who the immigrant is.

Deported in Coma, Saved Back in U.S.

I see no way this will ever be fixed as long as the world is driven by the desire to amass money.. I do not say this in any altruistic sense, just logic. This may be the best system we’ve got at the moment, but it is by no means a good one.
While I am by far (for the moment) much better off than these folks, I am by no means immune to perhaps having to choose between living and dying for myself and or a family member because of monetary constraints at some point.

B.C. apologizes for Komagata Maru incident

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
