Any political candidate or sitting politician who is willing to support this, who is willing to bring in immigrants to replace American workers who are ALREADY working in a job is not fit to be called an American.

And politician or candidate who supports AND legislation that has not been seen by the public is not fit to be called an American.

Whether a deal with Iran, a trade pact with foreign nations, or a healthcare plan, the supporters of keeping Americans blind are not themselves Americans.

Period.

I was just reading an article that DIS stock could be headed for a DEEP drop. Read the article and it was like from 111.00 a share to 103.00 a share drop expected. That doesn’t sound too deep to me. . . but then I haven’t owned DIS stock in several years and back then it was in the 30’s and 40’s price range.

You don’t backstab your elite workforce and not have it bite you. But only a moral, Judeo-Christian employer would see that.

I hope that Disney plummets. The bass turds have taken advantage of becoming an American traditional destination, and have used that to push a liberal agenda. All the while, stabbing the people they claim to serve.

Go to Hell Disney.

I am opposed to any support for increased immigration or increased visas of any variety WITH THE EXCEPTION of legitimate Christian refugees fleeing death and terror.

“U.S. Economy Added 280,000 Jobs in May 2015; Unemployment Rate 5.5%”. Are American worker’s jobs being replaced and then added to the jobs report?

Senator Cruz's own press releases said he wanted to raise the number of H-1bs by 500 percent. Link

Nothing new.

Companies have been doing this for decades.

I worked with an aerospace manufacturer who was doing the same — replacing US personnel with imported H-1B personnel — in the early 1980s.

One such new hire was of British birth. He was a electro-mechanical engineer who has 2 PhDs and numerous high-level patents and served in both the US and British military. His intial pay was less than what office clerks were making.

Somebody needs to get this article in front of Ted Cruz and then follow up with other documentation of other like actions by employers. If that does not change his mind then we would know he is bought and paid for.

Our immigration system should not be used to injure American workers.

As with our other industries, we are now busy giving away our jobs in the information tech world. We did it with steel, then textiles, then autos, then every appliance imaginable, and the 2 places we led were aerospace and information technology.

Now they’re offshoring those jobs. Why not ship them overseas? Because the truth is that America IS the best technology creator in history.

Pretty soon we’ll be down to hamburgers and fries. And then they’ll be selling us robots from overseas to do those.

Why? They hate republican forms of government formed out of a Judeo-Christian background.

There are other reasons for doing this

1. Employers do not have to pay for obamacare for H1B visa holders. This includes fines.
2. Employers do not have to pay unemployment taxes for H1B visa holders. This includes fines.
3. Employers do not have to pay Social Security or Medicaid taxes on H1B visa employees.
3. Employers can pay under minimum wage to H1B visa holders
4. it allows the companies to meet diversity/Affirmative action quotas, thus getting grants from the Fed Gov for doing so.

So, by getting an H1B visa holder to replace someone, the company is effectively paying a third of the cost for that employee while making it more effective to comply with Federal employment and tax regulations.
