I dunno, I thought it had enough emphasis.

Seriously though, it's hard to have it any other way when this issue has been moralized as much as it has. A nation has a fundamental right to control it's borders and determine who does and doesn't get citizenship etc. It is not a human right to have access to the United States.

I witnessed first hand an entire mobile engineering department at a major US company dissolved. Managers, QA, software engineers, a total of 20 hardworking, dependable people, were shown the door in favor of Chinese contractors who would do their job for a quarter of the price.

Empathy, it seems, is often a cherry picked virtue.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who sees their country selling out to the highest bidder. Can you not understand their fear?
