Strange how HN is so keen on having millions of people come here to compete for your job and put downwards pressure on wages.

This has not happened, at least not in software engineering.

Also, it is more desirable to attract talent to the US, where they will spend money and pay taxes, than just outsourcing.

That's because it has been prevented by immigration rules.

Then your comment is purely hypothetical, apart from wrong.

Also, H1-B visas and others alike are non immigrant visas, so there are no “immigration rules” in play here.

Amazingly, most ethical people who are doing well aren't selfish enough to hoard all of it for marginal gain to themselves at massive cost to others.

Secure employment is hardly a marginal gain. Then again, HN used to be filled with engineers, now it's filled with entrepreneurs hoping for cheap labor so it makes sense.
