EXCELLENT EXCELLENT POST. Read the part at the bottom about embracing high performing immigrants. I hope every American out there reads this and wakes up to the call of reality!!

Fortune talks about role of immigrants in the country’s growth

I had a small, Twitter-hosted dustup recently with Trevor Loy, a pleasant fellow who, when he is not Twittering, brings truth and justice to the world via the agency of venture capital.

I just received the approval notice of my I-140 and found out that the visa in my category was unavailable, and that I might have to wait another 5-6 years before getting my GC.  This is crazy.  I can’t believe it.
I’d like to know what I [...]
