How is this germane to hacking and/or startups?

PS, voting me down won't make the article any more on-topic, and it doesn't matter anyway, I have oodles of this karma shit, and if I have to burn it pointing out the reddit-bait, so be it.

Well, it looks like the article made foreigners think they're going to be incarcerated if they set foot on US soil, and there are a lot of immigrants in the startup community.

You can always find a connection if you use your imagination.

That game is called "6 degrees of hacker news".

At least 197 hacker-news people have found it interesting, for some reason. Just flag it if you don't like it.

I guess we've all submitted things that are seemingly irrelevant to startups and hacking from time time.

It is an interesting article; that's not really the point. The problem is that this sort of "rabble rousing" article about politics or economics begets more articles just like it. At first they're likely to be good ones, but then they start attracting more and more junky ones, and more users who come for the politics, and so on and so forth.

Luckily, so far, this site hasn't gone that far downhill - pg and company have mostly been vigilant about letting too many of these through.
