I give Ted permission to flip flop on his current desire to see H1b grow 5x.
Michelle Malkin just wrote a book with facts that prove we have lots of STEM workers out of work, taking Stem in college.
This is just the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS PAYING THEM 65 cents on the dollar they pay Americans, and no retirement or healthcare benefits paid since they are contract workers not full time employees.
IMHO, Gates, Ellison et al. are just screwing fellow really smart educated Americans so they can make even more billions for themselves.
You really sound like a complete obnoxious ass.
Not completely...
Given his handle, what do you expect?
Proudly serving the warfighter for 25 years...
The program has been abused.
Even so, supposedly there is a shortage of jobs in these fields so I can never wrap my head completely around the program.
But a welcome one, if backed up by concrete policy positions.
Cruz and Trump are the only ones who are acceptable on the most important issue that we face.
Total.
All of it.
The whole thing.
"the country has more than twice as many workers with STEM degrees as there are STEM jobs. Also consistent with other research, we find only modest levels of wage growth for such workers for more than a decade. Both employment and wage data indicate there is no shortage of STEM workers in the United States." - http://cis.org/no-stem-shortage
I'm looking in Trump written plan to see where he says that he will deport everybody.
There's just one mention of deportation and it's for the convicted criminals.
Ditto.
In the last cycle nominating a clear Obamacare opponent was essential to victory, but R's managed to choose the one candidate who wasn't one. Oh, sure, he sounded like he opposed it during the election (and we most likely wouldn't have it today if he had won) but he couldn't overcome his record.
If the others want to obey our laws on coming into our country Trump has no problem with that, but they are not staying: THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS....
Cruz has often spoken of his positions on illegal immigration:
Cruz has yet to mention his support of deportation of the 12 to 20 million or the construction of a wall. He has still not put out a policy paper on immigration. Does he support like Trump a reduction in LEGAL immigration?
Trump is not going to be able to deport illegals unless they are criminals. He knows it and so does the rest of the field.
You will note that Obama’s effort regarding 5,000,000 illegals was just stayed by a Federal District Court.
If he tries Executive Order, as Obama did, same will happen to Trump but in the opposite direction.
And he will never ever get it through the House and Senate even if he has Republican majorities. Because, as we all know, too many “Republicans” are Democrats.
Because he knows it will not happen.
But a welcome one, if backed up by concrete policy positions.
Does he support like Trump a reduction in LEGAL immigration?
That's what I'm hoping to find out.
Cruz needs to concentrate not just on Rubio being against deportations, but also on him being in favor of “a path to citizenship.” See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3359280/posts
Making illegals citizens, even 10 years down the line, cements a Dem majority FOREVER. They are already working feverishly through HUD (thanks, La Raza Castro, the Latino Obama - complete with America-hating mother) to put immigrants on the public dole into purple states, but making a few million more of them citizens would tip the scales for good.
They’ve been working on this project since 1965, when Bobby Kennedy drew up the immigration act and Teddy Kennedy proposed it in the Senate. Letting them win on this issue will guarantee a loss for us on EVERY OTHER ISSUE WE CARE ABOUT - abortion, freedom of religion, the 2nd Amendment, fiscal responsibility, a strong defense and foreign policy, speech codes, etc., etc. Cruz needs to hammer this home EVERY DAY.
No citizenship for illegals, EVER! Those who stay must have a PERMANENT addition to their papers and other records that they are forever ineligible for citizenship here. Further, we need a law invalidating birthright citizenship - but barring a blanket repeal of the concept, at the least it must be applied to ALL illegal and also to ANY children whom they have had.
