I have a sincere query about Cruz’ position on increasing H1B visas. Do we NEED any more visas? Are these current visas taking jobs from Americans? Thanks to all who answer. Bob

Bob,

In my research, so far, I have been able to find only two reports of corporations abusing the H1-B process so that they can hire cheaper labor:

1. Disney
2. SCE


There maybe other instances, but they apparently either have not been documented, or they are minor in nature.

As such, I can find no proof that the abuse of the H1-B process is either wide-spread in Corporate America, or that the number of corporations abusing H1-B even comprises a sizable minority of the corporations of America.

I think if we would stick to teaching kids what they need to know to work in the real world instead of the other crap they are learning now in school, we wouldn’t need to import skilled workers.

Don’t equate the H1B visas with illegals pouring into the nation - it doesn’t equate and has next to zero impact on American workers. If that’s your only beef with Cruz, you can put it to rest.

We will need a highly-skilled workforce to expedite our recovery. As we know, the free public education of this country is horrible. What does it produce? Fewer and fewer qualified students for colleges to become highly-skilled graduates (science, technology, engineering and math).

Are you preparing for the ever-worsening skills gap?
