I know my opinion will not be popular here, but I agree with senator Cruz. We need more skilled immigrants via H-1B visa route. That is a temporary visa, but depending on performance of the worker, they should have a path towards green cards (permanent resident visa) which after 3 years gives them a path towards citizenship.

What we do not need is boat loads of low skilled or unskilled immigrants who become a burden on taxpayers for welfare.

When they take your job and give to an H1-B, maybe you’ll understand.

"We need more skilled immigrants via H-1B visa route"

Why do you believe that? What is the basis of that belief?

Are you in the tech business?

It’s only logical to see if we can OFFLOAD first. In the meantime there are jihad filled engineering schools nationwide.

"We need more skilled immigrants via H-1B visa route."

No. Foreigners are cheaper to hire, and companies are FIRING Americans and hiring H-1B holders instead. We have enough skilled workers in America, and the ability and population to produce more if there is a shortage in any particular field.

Every H-1B holder than takes a job, is taking a job away from a skilled American, AND driving down the overall market salary for skilled jobs because these foreigners are willing to work for peanuts.

And don't tell me "it's what the market will bear." When the market is being artificially influenced by a deliberate influx of foreigners...That is just a travesty.

We literally do not need H1-B visas. They are displacing American workers and that is bad for the economy (but good for businesses that use this to artificially depress wages.

A nation without borders is not a nation!
Folks coming here from elsewhere need to go through the same process my great, great grandfather, Ernst Bachert, did!!

Born on 20 December,1834 20 in the Hesse-Darmstadt,Germany, both his parents died when he was 13. Alone, he went to Freiburg to learn a marketable trade.
He spent the next 6 years apprenticing to learn paper making.

At age 20, he left for America, arriving at Ellis Island on October 23rd, 1854. After verification of proper documents, American sponsorship and employment, he was examined for communicable diseases BEFORE being cleared for entry!

He did not stow away on a cargo ship for Mexico so he could sneak across the border to begin availing himself of the foolishly proffered largesse of the U.S. Treasury.

BTW, he went on to introduce a new paper making techinque and founded a paper manufacturing business that supported himself, his wife and children and 3 more generations of family.

What part of illegal – as in illegal immigrant or alien – is hard to understand???

All that said, I do have one ancestor who came here who dodged the immigration hoops Ernst had to navigate. My fifth great grandfather was brought here by his parents, arriving in Virginia in 1743 at age 8. Oh yes, the surveyor’s name? George Washington!

QUESTION: What damage does the current disregard of our well-considered and once respected immigration laws by the political elites do to respect for THE RULE OF LAW IN GENERAL?
Are situations like Ferguson, Baltimore and elsewhere a manifestation of that breakdown??

And how would you feel if you were some poor schlub who, even though you have skills this country may need, jumped through all the hoops and waited for years to gain entry as you watch thousands of illegals stroll across the border to be welcomed with open arms, EBT and Social Security cards?

None of the candidates running and I do mean none of them are anti immigration. Some want amnesty. Others want to expand legal immigration. In my. view the uniparty has decreed that The Spice Must Flow, and that’s just the way it is.

If immigration is your big issue, then plan on being disappointed. Sad to say, but that’s just where we’re at.

Liberals keep squawking about how the immigration
system is “broken”, it’s only broken because it’s
NOT being enforced.

GoTED2016.
