No clarification needed here. That’s why I mentioned I didn’t like feeling like I needed to tweak that issue a bit.
I don’t doubt your intent at all.
H-1Bs are no longer "skilled" when the time comes to pay them:
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Pay Foreign Workers Extremely Low Wages:
Notice there is no requirement that the employer pay the H-1B worker at his skill level. Even if there were such a requirement, it would be unenforceable because skill is a subjective measure.
Under this system, employers classify
Notice that H-1B workers are "highly skilled" when industry wants more of them, but those very same workers become low-skilled when determining what they have to be paid.
You can pretty up the language all you want to. I don’t see “healthcare” as a right that the government guarantees its citizenry. Not on a state level and certainly not on a federal level. As far as charity, you know, that’s fine. What private entities or individuals do for others is their business. I don’t want tax dollars going to pay for Jane’s contraception or Jim’s sex change hormones, which is what we mean by healthcare in 2015, let’s be honest. Maybe there was a time when healthcare actually meant healthcare as opposed to subsidizing pharmaceutical companies by drugging up grandpa with 50 different medications... but that time is gone. It’s not the state’s role to be my doctor. I want it as far removed from my healthcare as possible.
It’s a broken system. It needs to be fixed, obviously.
That said, we’re talking years ago RE: Cruz on H-1B. At this same time, Trump was chastising Romney for being too harsh on immigration, so, you know, let’s not use this to act like Trump is somehow “better” on immigration or anything crazy like that.
He reiterated his pro-H-1B-expansion stand this July: Cruz: Proud to Defend Trump, Expand H-1B Visas For Educated, Talented Job Creators - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3309118/posts

Trump's conservatism is as wet behind the ears as Romney's was when he ran; Trump is currently saying the right things, which is more than any other candidate has the sense to do.
“I dont want tax dollars going to pay for Janes contraception or Jims sex change hormones, which is what we mean by healthcare in 2015, lets be honest.”
I agree with that, but hopefully society is not so far gone into irrationality that it can’t be redirected.
For example, since transgenders, as as a numerical part of society, are statistically nonexistent, that has got to be a feint for some other agenda.
