> That's why I find it so annoying that this board is usually against abundant H1B's but for factory outsourcing. It's completely hypocritical.

This forum is not composed of US users only. For example I live in one of those countries who benefited from opening up to foreign trade (I live in Eastern Europe) so it would be pretty hypocritical of me to complain about open markets.

This is one of the things I like about HN however. There are plenty of smart people all over the world (Eastern Europe included!). It is great to be capable of having civilized discussions with different viewpoints. If you open yourself to it, it is easy to learn something new from someone with an entirely different worldview and life context than you.
