Wasn’t it Ted Cruz who wants to increase the H-1B cap by 500%?

I'm not sure 500% is accurate, however any candidate who supports H1B and/or increasing H1B's will not get my vote.

I know too many highly-skilled IT folks who've been displaced by H1B's from India, China and other Asia-Pacific countries.

In fact, my own employer has been doing it for the last 5+ years. Almost daily I see fewer and fewer of the people I've been working with for the last nine years, and more and more India and China H1B's.

It's gotta stop. And it's why I won't vote for ANY candidate who supports H1B's continuing or increasing, period.

[TBP]

Fine. Forego the pay.

You couldn't threaten or bribe me to vote for that.

[TBP]

Fine. Forego the pay. Then sue.

The Disney family would never have done this or put up with it, but they got aced out a long time ago. Time for them to come in and reassert control.

Years ago when I was a lot more naive about people and motives I was working a job where the general manager’s son had just graduated from college. The GM informed me that he was turning my job over to his son. Instinct told me to tell them to go take a leap but I convinced myself that showing a good faith effort at training the boss’s kid to do my job would be seen favorably and they would find something else for me.

Nope. Even before the training period was over they cut me loose.

You are right - the best thing any of them could have done was to walk out en masse. As it is, disney goes on without much of a ripple (when they should have been crushed) and those faithful employees got the shaft anyway.

[Borax Queen]

They put you between a rock and a hard place, no severance pay if you quit... They have to humiliate the hard workers to the very bitter end.

[TBP]

I would tell them to stick their severance pay into someplace very dark.

This was 2013, I don’t know what he says now.

[Souled_Out]

Cruz is just another paid political professional that will say what ever he thinks.

H1B,TPA ... I changed to support Trump, Ted, like all professional politicians, is mostly talk.

[catnipman]

Given the back-stabbing of the U.S.worker by the Uniparty, it should be no mystery why Donald Trump has such appeal.

Back in 2003 I worked for one of the country's leading Advertising Agencies (Leo Burnett.) Due to an accident, I required major lower-back surgery to repair my spine, and an intense 8 months of physical therapy to be able to walk again.

The day I returned to work I was told my position had been eliminated. I was at the Director level in Information Technology. I cannot tell you how much that devastated me after giving ten years to the legendary advertising agency during which time I'd been promoted five times.

Six months after being let go, I learned that the CIO who'd come into the agency while I was out on disability and "cleaned house" of all IT Leadership was himself let go by the CEO of the agency and escorted out from the building.

Shortly after his departure I received a phone call asking if I'd consider doing some consulting for the agency. I was asked if I'd be willing to consult on the very systems I'd built while I was there since pretty much every person I worked with --- including my own team --- left the agency and no one knew anything about the systems I'd built.

I asked what they'd offer me in terms of an hourly consulting rate and the response was for me to go back to them with the rate I wanted. So I thought about it overnight and had a chat with my wife about doing it. We didn't need the money, and getting that phone call just brought back a bunch of bad memories about being let go that I was still struggling to put behind me.

The next day the lady who called me from the ad agency asked if I'd thought about an hourly rate. I responded that I did, and my hourly rate would be $450 an hour with a maximum of ten hours a week that I'd consult.

She said "ok, when can you start?"

I won't repeat exactly what I said in response but it was along the lines of "If I were drunk and looking for a bathroom to relieve myself, and the agency was on fire, I wouldn't piss on the fire to put it out."

That was the day I was finally able to put my career at the ad agency behind me and get back on with my life.

Isn't it great being able to tell a former employer who screwed you over to go f*** themselves?! :-)

Trump totally sold out on Kim Davis, religious liberty and Supreme Court tyranny, he ‘s going to need to do a lot of explaining.

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent. The measure would effectively address the needs of our nation’s high-skilled workforce by helping meet the growing demand for workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

Thank you for posting the link. The above is right from Cruz's website and his statement at the time.

I'm old enough (53...) to know that no candidate is "perfect" and that I shouldn't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good enough" however there are some issues that I do not waiver on. Here's a few examples:

The first of those issues is LIFE. Any candidate who supports abortion I simply cannot vote for. My position on abortion is immutable, a deal-breaker.

Second is immigration. I cannot support any candidate who will not enforce our border security. My position here is also immutable.

Third is any candidate who supports H1B in the first place, or expanding H1B. H1B has done much damage to this country, to American workers and our shrinking Middle Class. I cannot vote for any candidate who supports H1B.

Fourth is the Second Amendment. Any candidate who supports whittling away at it I will not consider because without the Second Amendment the rest of the Amendments, our Bill of Rights and the Constitution itself is meaningless.

It will be a cold day in hell before I can vote for Cruz based on his position on H1B's. He's gone from any consideration in my mind.

Train them WRONG...

Disney was sneaky. They dangled the possibility of new, even more interesting jobs in front of the displaced workers. No doubt the workers tried to do a good job training their replacements in hopes of getting those new jobs, which turned out to be nonexistent.

[gusopol3]

It makes you wonder whether this is the reason why Cruz has such a lot of money coming in for campaign contributions.

“”Wasn’t it Ted Cruz who wants to increase the H-1B cap by 500%?

Traitor Ted wanted to go from 65,000 to 325,000 foreign worker H-1B visas.

Foreign workers do a lousy job and don’t have nearly the ethical or moral standards of Americans.

[ColdSteelTalon]

The sad part is that morality and integrity are not valued in the corporate world.

[marron]

This makes me extremely uneasy about Cruz.

Cruz is my guy, but yes, he needs to re-think this position.

H1b's should be at zero when you have as many people as we do, out of work standing on street corners.

[Lil Flower]

I agree with you to a degree. However, everyone has sold out to tyranny including you and I because if we hadn’t, things would have never became this bad and if they had, we would be dragging black robed tyrants and drunken senators and congressman out into the streets and taking our country back according to the constitution. We’re all to blame for this mess.
