> Keep in mind you are writing this in defense of a gov that presumes itself to be in charge of how many people you can have over.
I'm not defending any government here. I am pointing out that people are getting outraged without even understanding what they are being outraged about. When you do that, you undermine your own credibility and potential impact and make it easier for people in power to brush aside your outrage when you do know what you are talking about.
If you really care about these issues it behooves you to inform yourself as well as possible and be as accurate as possible so that you don't do more harm than good for your cause.
