Not really: IT workers *can* bring their families to Silicon Valley  
or Boston. Even better, they can stay back where they came from and  
make a handsome multiple of survival wages. Nevertheless, there is  
(and has been) "activism" around the barriers erected by the USG for  
families of immigrants.

What is wrong with a guy making a "choice" to spend the entire first  
year of his child's life away from that child? I guess these sort of  
questions make sense only in the context of modern leftism and its  
snottiness regarding morality/humanism! ;-)
