...some Baylor students are shaking their heads.

The headline implies ALL Baylor students. Crappy college editing I guess.

“He’s focusing on sensational issues and making provocative claims without giving any policy to support his statements.

I guess this kid missed Trump's detailed plans on immigration and the 2nd Amendment. No other candidate has released plans on those subjects, with a Trump tax plan coming next week.

People are just taking the headlines as true without digging in deeper,” she said. Jefferson City, Mo., junior Paul Kiekhaefer said Trump is gaining support from the far right and most extreme of the Republican Party.

Sounds like an American Crossroads or CoC staffer.

“He’s tapped into the anger of the far-right wing of the GOP that despises the establishment, political correctness and the Washington, D.C. based political system,” Kiekhaefer said.

Lindsey Graham or McCain staffer?

The Ted Cruz campaign reached out to us…

Far-right ? Only because the RINO establishment has sailed off the far-left horizon. These jackasses are more left wing than the Democrats of the 1980s.

I see that Trump's very pro 2nd amendment creed hasn't filtered very far (or more accurately, been buried as much as possible by the press - after all, they give Trump enough free press as it is...)

Why is it that everyone is so dang sure that somehow the answer to defeating Trump lays with open borders that most of the electorate (Republican, Democrat and Independent) don't want?

Pretty much everyone but Cruz is pitching the same song - and even Cruz wants to open the floodgates of H1B visas even further.

I know the Trump balloon is over with. Now it will be ‘tough questions on concrete policy’ which of course will ignore any concrete policy that comes out. It comes down to the slug fest leading up to Iowa - and there's just two candidates left who actually believe in following the law.

Can we get off the very minor subject of H1-B visas? Is that more important than the border and deportation, the constitution, national survival, the overall economy, taxes and the rest? You’re NEVER going to find a candidate that agrees with you 100% on all issues.

I disagree. It is not a minor issue. It is an issue of fundamental honesty. There is no shortage of qualified tech workers in the USA. More than half of our STEM graduates don’t work in their fields because there are not enough positions. There are numerous sources which point this fact out. The H1-B program is a sham and there is no need for it but Cruz want to expand it 5x. The H1-B program is mostly being used to unfairly undercut thousands of well paid Americans and replace them with low paid third world substitutes solely to improve the bottom line for the political donor class. It is a travesty and Cruz knows it. He needs to get right on this. Trump actually handles the H1-B issue well in his immigration position paper. Cruz would do well to adopt his approach.

I first read it in Levin’s new book and have since seen it in other places.
The links are to two of the sources that Levin cites in “Plunder and Deceit”.
It is a good book with lots of footnotes. He cites many other sources for this in the book.
Look at it if you want more proof.

The modern RINO is so far left that back in the day, the House would have been investigating these idiots as Soviet plants.
Joe McCarthy would have been all over them.

And Trump consistently hires people for his organization using foreign visas each year. I guess he isn’t all that committed to hiring American. I’ll stick with Ted, thanks.

If Trump is hiring the best people for the job, I do not have a problem with it. If he is hiring cheap replacements and forcing the well paid Americans they will be replacing to train them like the H1-B visa workers are being used by multiple businesses, than I have a problem with it and Ted Cruz is on the record wanting to expand that program. I like Trump’s take on the H1-B issue as outlined in his immigration policy paper:
“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,” Trump wrote. “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, 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.”
BTW, Cruz wants to expand the cheap labor H1-B program even more than Rubio does to 5x. I just cannot get behind that.

With what passes for “higher education” these days, this does not in the least surprise me. But the campaign has barely begun. Give Trump a smashingly successful stint on SNL, and another shot or two on TONIGHT, and many of them will come around.

They are students. We should listen to them.

That’s the unwritten message.

Mass legal immigration - of which H-1B is a non-negligible part - will gut the American middle class and thus the overall economy, and result in a self-perpetuating liberal voting majority that will deepen the threat ro Constitutional governance ... and all of that will threaten our national survival.

Instead of leaning on us to shut up, join us in leaning on Cruz to wise up.
