Ted Cruz wants to increase H-1B visas from 65,000 to 325,000 annually

WASHINGTON, DC: When it comes to increasing skilled workers on H-1B visas, one could say presidential candidate Ted Cruz is a bit of a black sheep amongst the GOP.The Republican presidential candidate wants to increase the H-1B visas by 500 percent from its 65,000 to 325,000.

Cruz, who announced his run for the Oval office this morning, had made the proposition in 2013 as an amendment to the Senate’s comprehensive immigration bill.While the Senate’s Judiciary Committee torpedoed Cruz’s amendment, they did approve an increase of 180,000 in the H-1B cap, but the House never acted on the legislation.It’s not clear if Cruz had only the base 65,000 H-1B visas for skilled workers from around the globe to emigrate to the US in mind, and he didn’t want to include the 20,000 other H-1B visas which are allocated especially for students who graduate from universities in the US.

Sen Cruz needs to back away from this Chamber of Commerce open-borders dream.

From what I gather the Cruzers are gloBULLists, they don’t really care-about Americans.

People need to stop putting faith in politicians to the point where they start demanding bans for criticizing the flavor of the month.

H-1B Visa holders should be able to run for the Senate and Congress. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Politics is like war. The first casualty of war is truth. We don’t know what to believe so I believe nothing unless I hear the candidate say it himself. Maybe he did say this. Does that mean we should run off and support somebody who wants to bring in millions of Mexicans? Or, should we support a crony capitalist like Clinton? It’s unlikely we’ll get the candidate we want. Then it’s up to us to elect other candidates for the Senate and the House that will stymy any anti-American populism our actual candidate does support. Politics is a dirty business. I’d sooner see sausages made.

Won’t work but keep trying.

Bring more of your toady creeps to the bash-Cruz party so they can be catalogued and flagged for the future.

Maybe Ted could replace his staff with H-1b visa holders. That would be cool.

It’s time for a 15 year moratorium on ALL immigration.

We don’t need anymore.

Cruz and anybody else that doesn’t get with this program are going to have a real problem getting the nomination.

AMERICA FIRST!!!!!!!!

He got his hands on those big business shill dollars. He doesn’t care about hard working Americans in the tech sector. He wants cheap Indian laborers so tech can continue pissing on the American middle class.

Being best on amnesty doesn’t make it OK to suck on H-1Bs.
