If money isn't an issue, then surely they won't mind a higher salary requirement. $130k is reasonable for the greatest tech talent in the world, right?

Increasing the supply of labor, and accepting lower wages and worse working conditions than natives.

Edit because I hit the post limit, in response to a comment on the idea that they are mostly poaching top talent from other countries: In reality, most are either low pay low skill workers for contracting companies like Infosys (largest employers of H1Bs), or fresh grads that are cheaper and less risky to train (because they, in a sense, own them).

Edit edit for serge2k: If you're so great, then I'm sure they won't mind paying extra for you when the visa party is over.

I cannot imagine how thick of a bubble one would have to be living in for HN to seem like it is "overrun by Trump apologists"

As a Trump supporter that supports the ban, I would much rather we give Saudi Arabia and Israel the boot and ally with Iran and Syria instead. We're stuck with Israel but I have some small hope that the other sides may flip as our relationship with Russia improves. The cold war of the 21st century is looking more and more like US+Russia vs. China+EU, it will be interesting to say the least how that will affect our alliances in the middle east.

It's not so much anglo-centrism as it is political bias. They flag terrorist attacks in France for the exact same reason that they flag any article that is even neutral on Trump: it goes against their narrative.
