Face it, he needs to walk back his position on H-1b to get my vote. You cannot polish this turd. Even if he reverses his stance I have to decide whether I believe him. Your mileage may vary, but cut the BS, he is a big H-1b visa proponent.
Even in 2013, a new senator said that any shortfall had to be verified and it had to be legal. That is not the same as saying we MUST have 600,000 H1bs every year.
It’s saying “verify a shortage” and you can have up to a certain amount.
