That's right, no one is going to sponsor you and bring you in unless you've got talent they can't get domestically.

On the bright side, there's a whole lot of countries where you can go and get work-- a lot more than there are for the average USA resident. I've heard the that there's quite the scene going on in Cambridge, for instance. And, at my last start-up, here in Norway, we hired from all over Europe.

Yeah - I know the UK is quite active at the moment. I am in Ireland at the moment and it's not too bad either. It just doesn't feel good that one cannot move around freely in the civilized world. Canada for instance appears to be much easier to get into.
