The only edits I've made are for grammatical changes or typographical errors, done quickly after the initial posting as I am a poor proofreader. I am really not sure what you're talking about. My original comment stands that yes, I am shocked to see so many anti-immigrant comments here. That seems like a pretty blandly accurate description to me. No one has been called a name.

Many more comments are non sequiturs about the various shortcomings of the H1B program which has nothing to do with why it was suspended. My comment doesn't label every participant in this thread as anti-immigrant.

I am an even poorer proofreader. See my edit.

You can't ignore the overall ramifications of the policy just because you believe that the policymaker has a particular nefarious motivation.

And you shouldn't box people out of the debate by accusing them of hatred just because they don't condemn a policy that you see as being hatefully motivated.
