In case you're looking at this and somehow don't know about http://startupvisa.com/ , take a look and offer your support if so inclined. It would allow non-US entrepreneurs with funding from a US investor to get a visa to start a company. StartupVisa would be wayyy more beneficial than the housing thing... get folks to contribute to society, hire local workers, etc. Those local workers then can in turn buy homes, etc.

Trouble is that it must be from a US investor.

So it's the same slave labor problem as H1B. If you don't like anything the investor suggests after you have moved then he withdraws the funding and you get deported.

Can we think of how a good capitalist VC might use that to their advantage?

I think you're overstating the issue. I am in the US in an H1B visa and am in no way 'slave labor'. But I can't start my own company- the Startup Visa would finally solve that issue.

There aren't many places where it's considered reasonable that your employer can fire you for no reason and have you and your family thrown out of the country aswell.

Reasonable? No. Does it happen? Yes... Are there business models based upon this feature? Yes...
