WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent. The measure would effectively address the needs of our nation’s high-skilled workforce by helping meet the growing demand for workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It will also make block grants available to states to promote STEM education efforts and increase domestic STEM professionals. The committee voted against the amendment 4 to 14 with every Democrat voting against it on a party-line vote.

What you fail to admit is the American visa program is being abused by businesses. They don’t have to be large ones either. Farmers use illegals all the time.
What Ted wants to do insure that Americans are hired first and if there is not enough skilled workers here, then they can apply for visas to fill the vacant jobs.
Trump wasn’t going to hire any Americans. Period. Wasn’t going to give em a chance. Big, huge, difference there.
