>>Where has the founder if Intel born?<<

I think you mean “of Intel.” Robert Noyce was born, raised, and went to School in Iowa. Gordon E. Moore was born, raised, and educated in California. Andy Grove (not one of the founders) was born in Hungary.

I don’t advocate stopping all legal immigration, but we need a thoughtful immigration policy that does not pander to Gates’s greed. Some businesses already abuse visa programs, and he wants unlimited H1B visas.

Oh, that really disproves my point. Are you trying to tell me that the question about the founder of Intel was the only thing you've got from my post; or is it the only one where you could shine your knowledge of trivia?

Whose greed did we pander to when we let in all those scientist fleeing from the Nazi? Do you really think we were capable of building the atomic bomb without them?

Look at the application pools for almost any doctoral programs in business and science --- count how many are domestic applicants. How many of professors in the universities are foreigners --- all these are H1B visa holders.

You, as many other posters, confuse hunt for cheaper labor with our national need for talent. And even here you make a mistake: why should the rest of America pay $150/hour to a kid without a college diploma (as it did in 1990s), if it can pay less?

What's most unpleasant is your Marxist, anti-capitalist stance. Gates' greed? You do not even have a clue who owns Microsoft and all largest corporations in this country. It shows also the small caliber of your soul, which is unable to even fathom that Gates may act on motives other than greed. It is also plain stupid: if he cared that much about another crummy $100M, as you purport, he would not have give to charity 300 times as much. It is greedy people that suspect others of greed.

Go ahead, ask for a raise, Mt. Socialist.
