If you think banning access to international talent will make next startup owner to set up shop in Omaha, you are sadly mistaken. It'll be Toronto, or Vancouver.

If you think there won't be people that would try to start businesses in America, you are sadly mistaken.

Of course there would be. There are people trying to start business in Somalia, US is not that bad :) It's just there would be less of them, and when they hit the limitations they'd tend to move to places where such limitations do not exist.

>If you live in middle America flyover country it's hard to get any tech job.

Mind, that might have something to do with middle America having defunded its state university systems, making skilled labor difficult to produce. We live in an economy where gluts of unskilled labor are a very bad thing for productivity, and it's about time state governments got that through their damned heads.
