Laid Off Disney Worker Breaks Down in Tears Before Senate Panel

A Disney IT worker who was laid off and replaced by foreign workers along with hundreds of his colleagues broke down in tears before a Senate panel Thursday while telling his story.

â€œDuring the holiday season of 2014, I was sent a meeting invitation by a prominent Disney executive. With an excellent review in hand along with company announcements of record profits my mind buzzed with thoughts of a promotion or a bonus,â€ Leo Perrero, the former Disney worker testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest. â€œI walked into a small conference room with about two dozen highly respected fellow IT workers. The Disney executive made a harsh announcement to us all.â€

That harsh announcement, Perrero said, was that Disney was laying him and hundreds of others off. He would be without a job in 90 days.

â€œYour jobs have been given over to a foreign workforce,â€ Perrero recalled the executive saying. â€œIn the meantime you will be training your replacements until your jobs are 100 percent transferred over to them and if you donâ€™t cooperate you will not receive any severance pay.â€

Ted Cruz proposes 500,000 ADDITIONAL H1B visas, plus unlimited visas, i.e., no CAP on visas, for China, India and Mexico. Mrs. Cruz is the creator, while a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, of the “North American Union,” which would include as one of its features the free flow, unfettered, of workers among Canada, the USA, and Mexico. (Ted of course voted for TPA, supports TPP and similar agreements to follow thanks to TPA; these agreements would include provisions that workers from signatory nations can flow freely into other signatory nations and work with no work visa required whatsoever. These machinations-—including the 500,000 additional H1B visas exclusive of TPP-—guarantee that all the STEM jobs, business professionals, engineering jobs, will be given to Indians.)

Just saw this.

I have some questions for you:

How do you fee about Ted’s sneaky set up whereby he can honestly say he voted against TPA the second time it came up for a vote while working behind the scenes with establishment Ry an to tack TPA onto a bill about pensions?

How do you feel about about Cruz [just like Obama] sealing all the records that could put to rest any questions about his citizenship ?

How do you feel about Cruz’s suddenly seeing the light immediately after Trumps announcement about H-1B’s {this after a career suppoeting expanded legal immigration and so-called free trade agreements that erode our national sovereignty and over ride our immigration laws

There are no perfect candidates in this race: Trump has changed position on a great many things since the 2012 election cycle - when he called Romney's policy of self-deportation for illegals "maniacal" (and some of his positions remain liberal, e.g., everybody gets health coverage).

What you label weakness in his planks, I label obfuscation.

How do you label the several stronger protections I cited in post #48? So far you've made a determined effort to ignore them.

I have some questions for you:

How do you fee about

You're still determinedly not addressing mine.

As for yours, I think I covered it in my first sentence quoted above.

Ted Cruz proposes 500,000 ADDITIONAL H1B visa

False. From https://www.tedcruz.org/cruz-immigration-plan/:

Amend the H-1B visa program to fulfill its original purpose: Work with Congress to pass reform legislation for the H-1B visa program that will:

Create an advanced degree requirement: Only individuals with advanced degrees in their respective fields may be brought to the United States with an H-1B visa. And preference will be given to those with advanced degrees from American universities.
Create a "layoff cool-off" period for all H-1B visa applications: Companies must wait one or two years between laying off a worker and bringing in any H-1B foreign workers to ensure that the program is not used to displace American workers.
Establish accreditation or recognition requirements for overseas schools: The recent lack of federal oversight of the H-1B visa program has fueled a cottage industry of diploma mills. Foreign academic institutions must meet minimum accreditation standards at least as stringent as those imposed on American universities in order to qualify for the advanced-degree requirement.
Require sworn affidavits describing domestic hiring efforts: Companies will provide sworn statements and documentation that detail their efforts to hire Americans before requesting foreign workers through the H-1B visa program. Individuals who make false statements in these affidavits will be subject to perjury charges.
Suspend companies from H-1B visa eligibility for failure to help foreign workers obtain green cards: Many companies misuse the H-1B visa program to train foreign workers that they intend to send back overseas to compete with America. The law must impose additional requirements on employers to pursue Legal Permanent Resident status on behalf of their H-1B visa-based foreign workers, or risk loss of access to the program.

to repeat, you and I obviously have very different assessments of Cruz.

Extensive research has shown me that back to his early days in politics Cruz has been in with the in crowd. Only about 2 -3 years ago did he begin to present himself as an outsider.

Cruz and his wife worked for eGOP GW. Cruz has a long history of supporting increased immigration and expansion of the ironically named free trade agreements which weaken our border security, over ride our immigration law, and ease us int global governance, i.e. the NWO.

Cruz’s life partner is a VP at Goldman Sachs, .

Cruz has sealed his records which could put to rest questions about his citizenship status. This is the same thing Zero has done. What’s Cruz hiding ?

Cruz in very deceptive moves has set up so that he voted against TPA on its second time up for a vote while working with establishment Ryan to tack TPA onto a bill about pensions.

In our current political world granting Obama power to negotiate TPA is a virtual guarantee of the passage of TAP which will remove any vestige of sovereignty we have. our border and job market will be opened to the world. This alone is reason enough not to support Cruz or believe him.

Cruz has lied about his funding and sent out official looking documents based upon Orwellian data analytics attempting to convince people the government was tracking their voting record.

IMHO Cruz’s core value is political expedience.

FYI The above facts will not be changed by replying in bold print LOL

STILL no answers? Sad.

(BTW, the bold serves the same function as the italic: denoting who said what. Sad that you need this explained to you.)
