    Indeed. Sad that people are willing to burn down the engine just to make a point that they're frustrated by things like pronouns. Enoughs enoughs. Wake up silent majority

    As a progressive - importing indentured servants to displace the American working and middle class is awful and revolting to watch.

    How does it destroy the country? I genuinely do not understand your logic? Is it because you assume less talent will move to the states?

    That's a little dramatic, many countries have this rule for visa applications.

    This comment is bizarre. Literally nothing about this policy change destroys the US or any principle outlined in the Constitution.

    It removes a convenience that was sometimes abused (see the top post) and makes it harder to bypass US law to get a visa.

    Adding hoops just makes them even more indentured. The harder it is to get market value for their skills the more it pushes American wages down.

    This seems like an emotional reaction, not a rational one. The US getting similar visa conditions to the EU Schengen area is not the "organized and intentional destruction" of the USA.

    I imagine it's more of a comment about the underlying trend.

    I can't say I have any loyalty to the government or the constitution, but i will say that our willingness to accept immigrants is far and away the best thing about this place.

    What a stupid take. This TCN business is just dumb. Because of this, US consulates in Canada have been swamped with visa appointments from H1B holders, making everything harder for casual visitors.

    Keep deluding yourself into thinking a silent majority want the country to be flooded by afghans and syrians.
