Cruz is not quite as hard line on illegals as is Trump but almost. If you like Trumps stand you’ll probably like Cruz’s

About the only difference is that Cruz would be willing to expand the H1B visa program though if done right that is not much of an issue. It is the abuse of that program that bothers people.

Cruz would expand H1-B visas FIVE FOLD.

His main big dollar donors are all cheap labor express, so you’re not really being factual.

I know it’s heresey knocking Cruz in here, but the facts are there.

At this point, because of the abuse, the mere existence of the H-1B visa program is unacceptable for at least 10-20 years while Americans with STEM degrees fill those jobs at market wages undistorted by Third World imports.

Are you kidding me? A visa program designed to eliminate and replace the American middle class workforce is not "much of an issue". LOL.

“if done right that is not much of an issue.”

The whole H1-B program is built on the lie that there are not enough qualified people in the USA to fill high tech jobs. H1-B an uneccessary sham that cronies like the Club for Growth love. Expanding it 5X is a horrible idea and will cost thousands of Americans their well paying jobs The truth is that almost twice as many people graduate with STEM degrees every year in this country than end up working in the STEM fields. There is no shortage of qualified Americans to fill STEM positions. There is a shortage of Americans willing to work STEM jobs at wages that the Cheap Labor Express cronies want to pay. The H1-B program mainly benefits companies that hire cheap imports to replace Americans workers as Disney, PG&E and others have done. I like the position Trump took on H1-B visas in his immigration paper.

Cruz’s view on the H-1B visas is not the only problem. Once illegals have legal status of any kind, it becomes discriminatory if an employer does not hire them and hires an American citizen instead.

They will be LEGAL. The only difference will be they supposedly can’t vote.

The H-1B program was designed to be 'abused'. It is designed to rep;ace Americans with CHEAP, DESPERATE foreign labor.

Cruz is for quintupling the number of H-1B's.

a complete list of H-1B occupations

There is not now nor has there ever been a shortage of STEM talent in the US.

Additionally no one ever mentions there are many. many. many unemployed experienced, proven STEM people in the US.

There are so many H-1B visa overstays that US techies compete against illegal aliens who have a culture of no problem gaming the US safety net for them selves and their families and their village.
