I know the issues around this, including brain drain from elite education, losing American dominance in the tech sphere, and the broad abuse that has been caused by the current set of regulations. I even have a colleague caught in an immigration snafu with his H1B right now, for leaving the country to visit his extended family. I fully agree with this program!
Still, the optics of this campaign in particular are terrible. The headline and lede on all of the articles isn't anything wrong with the current system - it's that Zuck has signed on with it. The splash page is a shot of 19th century america, and then you can scroll down to see a list of billionaires. If the page was literally intended to produce a conspiracy focused follow-the-money response it wouldn't look much different.
