As a tech entrepreneur and global itinerant, I'd love immigration laws around the world to be more lax, but please...

If this were true, I think there'd be more of a case. But remember there are other people in this world aside from tech entrepreneurs. Some of them are in pretty horrid situations and seek asylum.

Assuming the US has an intake quota and that intake quota is divided between reasons for immigration, then proponents of the Startup Visa are petitioning that other seekers of asylum or immigration take a back seat. I absolutely support this to an extent, but do we want them to deny all non-tech immigrants for every kid with a website?

At what point does a startup deserve to take someone else's place in the queue. And I'm well aware that politicians hate to concede there's a queue, but of course there is.
