no you’re wrong.
I’m going let you in on a little secret that I know of personally.
All of the major research labs, companies, think tank facilities and universities always have slots open ALWAYS for the right caliber individual and .....
and ....
it has nothing to do with cheap labor.
And those jobs pay top dollar and are ALWAYS available to the right person. Unemployment could be 33% and these slots would still be open because ....
There are a breed of people that are genetically endowed to solve problems that in turn lead to innovation that in turn lead to new industries being formed or expanded.
Your little Breibart-Facebook-Zuckerberg support for Senator Jeff is not associated with the talent that pays top dollar. It is associated with the cheap labor express.
I personally know here in Seattle at Microsoft Research more than 20 individuals from Russia, the former Eastern Soviet bloc countries, from China and India, from Australia, New Zealand, England, Germany and Hungary who are top researchers alongside their American counterparts and who travel and work back and forth with the University of Washington, Berkeley, Stanford and many government research labs. They are not part of your little protest against the Cheap Labor lobby. They are the caliber of individuals that Ted Cruz wants companies and universities to have access to.
The link I posted stated that the slots available pay very well and that is the truth. And they will pay well and be available regardless of unemployment and without regard to country of origin including American born talent.
The best talent goes to the big leagues period no matter where that talent comes from. It’s obvious you have no experience in the big leagues of science and engineering.
The cheap labor express is what H-1B is currently about - and I find no record of Cruz saying he's change that.
