I don’t trust Cruz on this matter.He was clearly for visas not long ago. Trump came out first against this. Ok ready for the Cruz bot attack
Ping!
They can change the rules all they want but the corrupt incompetent bureaucracy will never enforce it. The only solution is to kill H-1B visa, quotas to zero.
I’m for Cruz but H1b has been one of his weak points; I’ve said several times he needs to address it.
I’m glad to see he is doing just that.
Immigration policy - and this includes H1b - must serve the interests of citizens first, foremost, always. With enormous numbers of Americans out of work it makes no sense to keep bringing in foreign workers.
Massive flip/flop for Cruz. Now he’s cozying up to Sessions to try and gain a little late credibility on immigration issues. Does he still want to “streamline legal immigration”, whatever that means.
Ted Cruz was a vocal supporter of expanding HB1 visas as recently as 2013, advocating for the expansion of these visas by 500%. He has argued for the expansion of these visas both on the Senate floor and in the media, but under pressure from Donald Trump for the votes of anti immigration Republicans, Cruz has now proposed that we suspend the program and investigate it for abuse. He says there is “report after report after report of big companies abusing the HB1 programâ€. His 180 on this issue is a direct result of the rise of Donald Trump, which seems to have made most of the Republican candidates go a little crazy.
How sad...If it wasn’t for Palin (way back when) and now Trump, Cruz would be speaking out of the other side of his mouth...And how do we know that???
I work at a major Fortune 500 Company. In the last 4 years our staff at the corporate campus has changed:
FROM:
65% Native Born Americans
35% Foreign Born from all over the globe
TO:
25% Native Born Americans
35% Foreign Born from all over the globe
40% Indian nationals on H1B Visas
That’s a cut from 65% to 25% in Americans holding jobs in America.
Tens of thousands of formerly high-paying jobs are now held by itinerant Indian programmers living 4 to an apartment, going back to India at the drop of a hat. These people are indentured servants here for the purposes of killing American wages.
