Whole heartedly agree with the sentiments being spoken here. As a high paid IT Management professional myself having been in the field now for 15 years I can tell you there isn’t a shortage of American IT professionals to fill the positions. Republicans are no different than demonrats and Cruz is now showing his true colors. What’s happened is because there are a flood of H1B visas it’s lowered the salaries of highly skilled LEGAL professionals. Greed ridden US companies are forcing through shortages because they refuse to pay the rates demanded by those such as myself what the market should bear. So what do they do? They lobby Congress to increase visas to fill their shortages vs paying a US employee what the market should bear. This tripe spoken by Cruz today sickens me he is in the same bed as the rest. Until now I was a firm Cruz supporter.....next...

Onyx, apparently, Legal Immigration is now much, much, MUCH more important than the fight against Illegal Immigration, which Senator Cruz has been one of the only ones to fight against. How in the world someone could express the views on this thread, like Jarhead9297 has, that this one action on his and completely soured him, is beyond me.

I wonder which potential candidate he now supports?

He won't find anyone more conservative, in fact, all he will find are those who are much much less conservative.

Something smells here.

I've been here on FR twice as long here as you have.

I don't support illegal immigration, and I oppose Cruz's attempt at legalizing tons of foreigners to compete with American workers and enrich his corporate donors.

I’ve tried to read this news release from Senaotr Cruz’s office twice. In my severely depressed state, I guess I’m not able to completely comprehend.

Personally, I don’t want any immigration. I want our borders sealed and immigration halted for a few years.

I can’t see Senator Cruz being in favor of anything that would harm our country. Just the opposite in fact.
