re: The H1-B visa ban is dumb.

I always get a kick out of the opponents of this. Imagine being a company trying to produce something and the federal gov't won't allow you to buy the best materials at the best price to make whatever you're making. That's exactly what the gov't is doing here effectively creating tariffs on labor which, of course, is a tax on consumers.

Can you imagine such a restriction on your favorite college football team? What if LSU or Bama were suddenly restricted to only players from those states? The quality of the product they produced would drop dramatically.


Free markets are free from gov't impediments which includes labor.
