On the hand one I love this. On the other hand, this means it's going to be harder for a startup scene to take off in any European city.

It's going to hit Vancouver - the place is currently full of startup people that couldn't get US visas
What notable startups have come out of this community in Vancouver?
What notable startups have come out of silicon valley in the last 10years?
It's been a long time since HP, Apple, Sun appeared - a few people with a high traffic no income social web site doesn't make an industry however many $M/Bn it's notionally valued.
You made a claim that there were many startup people there, and I simply asked what notable startups have arised from that. It was a simple question, and the answer would have revealed concrete examples of which startups this country is missing out on because of a lack of a Startup Visa, and in this case, those would have been literally right across our borders! Your lack of examples would seem to indicate that the US wouldn't gain much from this purported community of startup types crossing the border.
Well, they'll just have to up their game. And hopefully, they will.
