Remember: most of these people are "liberal" Democrats. Rich liberal Democrats. Meanwhile over the past ten years employment and compensation in the oil and gas industry has soared. But of course liberals believe everything is rigged by the politically powerful and behave accordingly. Oilies aren't liberals.
What is missing from the immigration debate in Silicon Valley is trust, and it certainly isn’t the engineers that have abused it. We know that tech companies have worked really hard to keep wages from rising the past decade. Google, Apple, and a multitude of other large tech companies systematically worked together to stop workers from negotiating higher salaries by restricting recruitment practices and preventing workers from enjoying free movement of their labor.
Such tactics have made engineers far more cynical about the motives of tech companies, which is intensified by the incessant talk of talent shortages in the industry.
