H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

The only problem I have with Ted's statement is that he seems to assume we only have medium skilled workers in the US and just dont have any high skilled workers.

That's the Chamber of Commerce's line. So it's not surprising that - as a Senator - that's what he keeps hearing from lobbyists and advisors alike, over and over again.

And this is a difference between Cruz and Trump. Gandhi was once asked how he could take a position on one day that was different from his position the day before. His answer was, “Because I’ve learned something since yesterday.” Cruz is not a man who changes his positions lightly. But when presented with evidence showing his position to be wrong then he will change. As far as Trump is concerned I don’t think he is capable of changing his position or admitting that something he supported in the past was wrong.

There are OTHERS who read their LIES and they need to know the truth.
So the post is more for them, rather than the mind-numbed robots.

True. Admitting he was wrong or even asking God for forgiveness are not something Donald does.

However, we have seen in recent months this program being abused over and over and over again.

Engineers in the computing and telecommunications industries have seen this for a couple of decades and have been raising hell about it for that long. And Cruz is just noticing this now?

Sorry. Abuse of the program hasn't increased over the last six months. If Ted was unaware of how the program has always worked he had no business advocating an increase in the number of visas.

CRUZ is just blabbing away again. WONT SAY HE WAS WRONG....in fact says he STILL IS IN FAVOR OF H1B VISAS.

Go back to Canada. Stop supporting the stealing of American’s best jobs and giving them away to foreigners. We are a nation of 300 million, we have all the talent we need....unless you want to pay them peanuts.

It wasn’t the world that put 10 men and 2 jeeps on the moon 1/3 of a century ago, IT WAS AMERICANS. .....AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ALL TOGETHER HASN’T PUT ONE MOUSE UP THERE YET.

stop all H1B VISAS AND INVEST IN AMERICA’S YOUTH

The reforms he’s put forth sound good, but it’s difficult to trust someone who has always been in favor of H1B. The problems with H1B have existed for a very long time, and other work visas are a problem, too.

There is no way Cruz can undo his previous position. He gave himself away , that he believes the lobbyists. It is
wrong and dirty for the government to single out one trade or occupation and bring in foreign workers to compete with American workers who have studied and worked and studied continually to keep up with advancing technology.
