Right, and when I can walk into the Mexican market near my house and see a Ted Cruz penyata next to all the Trump ones, I might just believe you.
Trump is right in saying “if you don’t have a border, you don’t have a country”. If we don’t elect him, this is never going to get fixed.
i guess i’m a NY pessimist but i dont see where we can get 20 points in a handful of days, at least for NH.
i’m getting resigned to Trump being it, and terrified that rubio will be it
Just that many more poor Trump will have to try to round up and kick out.
Solution:
Elect Trump.
Send them all home.
Solution:
Elect Trump.
Send them all home.
Make Mexico pay for the tickets.
It’s all going according to plan, isn’t it?
Reversal?
People just need to be reminded of who Rubio is. Let him go back to selling used cars.
As for Trump, he gets less and less likely everyday. He has started dropping the “F” bomb in his speeches now that he is out of Iowa, but that won’t play well in the Bible Belt as he moves south.
He didn’t say anything until Trump did. Before that he was for skyrocketing H1Bs and legal entry.
Look at how many of his positions have changed or been modified just since June.
Joy, I lost faith in 52 percent of this population a long time ago.
I’m still hoping we CAN grab 52, maybe 53, with the right guy.
But you see the board. Thees Trump supporters aren’t going anywhere. And that’s cool. It’s a democracy.
But i dont see him losing.
He DID drop the S word in a speech a few days ago and it was reported but nothing sticks.
I’m glad you dont have my pessimistic attitude.
He’s playing well everywhere, but he needs to get a majority of the delegates.
That’s the win.
Treason in the first degree. People need to hang for this.
Actually Cruz was responding to the concerns of the voters who contacted him on the issue. Several folks from FR were among the thousands of emails, letters, and phone calls he got.
I haven’t heard Trump address H1-B visas at all.
Once upon a time the media thought whistle blowers were cool.
Have you noticed they seem to have changed their collective (media) minds on this issue since 2008?
Trump’s position.
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
So, Cruz and Trump agree on the issue. Now if Trump would abandon his very bad idea of expediting illegals back in to become Democrat voters, we would be getting somewhere.
He has. It’s listed below, but he was on it from the beginning ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
Cruz has always been in favor of replacing American jobs with immigrants.
Even his poison pills to the Rubio’s comprehensive immigration bill INCLUDED vast increases in H1B and other visa programs. I’ve SEEN it. You can check it out.
Some folks have a hard time understanding the concept of “Poison Pill”. The idea was to kill the bill, which they eventually did when he and Sessions worked with House Conservatives.
Nope, those were not part of the poison pill. They were additional amendments tacked onto the comprehensive immigration bill. Afterwards, he STILL supported them. He said that research shows that immigrants create jobs, so he was supporting his H1B provisions still.
