In Silicon Valley, Recruiting Clashes With Immigration Limits - NYTimes.com

I’m an immigrant here too and I associate with this article to quite an extent. The main protagonist, Sanjay, goes on an overkill when he mentions that he had American flags in his dorm room and Google office and that now, he has a Canadian flag in his house. I’m amused that a guy who pays $200,000 in taxes thinks that he can’t live in the US because this would mean that his wife can’t work…and his savings rate will decrease. Are you kidding me? When you can pay so much in taxes, I don’t understand why being the sole bread winner is such a big deal for you. When Google is sponsoring his Green card, I don’t know why he says “I’m not sure if I can go back to the US”. Huh.
