Can a moderator here please explain why this post is being flagged off the home page? Immigration issues are relevant for HN and in addition a Trump presidency would seriously impact the direction of this country for startups, tech, and beyond! This is worthy of discussion/debate here.
They're being flagged because users are flagging them. Users are correct to flag them because they break the HN guidelines.
Political horse race stories, which this is, are off topic for Hacker News, and doubly so when they're inflammatory. If you want to have a thoughtful discussion about startup immigration, you could not find worse starting material.
As someone else pointed out this is a duplicate. Another reason could be that those of us not in the United States are already fed up of your electoral campaigning and we can hardly believe that there is another 11 months of it remaining.
I agree and I just vouched for this article. Important to note that this was not an off the cuff comment. This policy was communicated in a written statement from the man currently in position to win the GOP nomination.
