What is difference does it make to you if some guy who was born in the US got the job, or some guy who was born in India got the job? Really, this idea that people should prefer people who happen to be in their "own" "nation" is rediculous, nationalism is rediculous.

Why do we have any laws controlling immigration at all? Why can't anyone migrate and live/work anywhere they want and for any company they want, doing any kind of work they want? Why do nation states exist at all? Passports, visas, check points...

Why does any of that exist?
