I seem not to have made myself clear:

Cruz is perfectly comfortable with the current level of job replacement and has tried to hide this fact in obtuse language.

Proposing a hearing on ‘abuses’ demonstrates a fundamental unwillingness to face the fact the program was designed to replace Americans.

The idea of suspending issuance of visas during the hearing is MEANINGLESS.because of the speed with which the annual allotment is issued.

Most importantly the US does NOT need an H-1B program. There are unprecedented numbers of experienced, up to date, proven IT people from which employers can meet their need.

This duplicity is mirrored in Cruz and TPA, fast track authority in which the congress cedes power to the president. First Curz shilled for TPA, Then when he realized how unpopular TPA was he voted against it BUT supported attaching TPA as an amendment to another bill,

“HR2146 was originally introduced in the House of Representatives as a bill to address issues with retirement funds of federal law enforcement officers and firefighters.
In April of 2015 Senator Ted Cruz and House Ways and Means Chairman, Representative Paul Ryan, supported TPA being added to HR2146. Their support was most notable when they posted the following Op-Ed which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on April 22nd:

On May 12th HR2146 passed/agreed to in House: On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended. Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 407 â€“ 5 (Roll no. 220). (text: CR H2848) The bill passed the house 407-5 because it was not controversial.
