“Senator Cruz is most conservative on issues except immigration. He is on record for expanding H-1B visas five fold.”
You are skipping a huge piece of information - ALL of the other candidates would pass amnesty. Walker has flipped in this issue 3 times, so he can’t be counted on to do the conservative thing.
But Cruz will NOT pass amnesty, no matter what it is called.
There is a huge difference between legal and illegal immigrants. HUGE. When one starts out being a criminal and does not contribute to this society, but instead takes from it - that is a pattern set for most of their lives and their children’s lives.
Those that come here with H-1B visas are usually educated, can speak English or have the IQ to pick it up quickly, and work legally and pay taxes.
Should be employ Americans instead of importing educated foreigners? Heck, yes! BUT the liberals have taken over education in our schools and our own kids are neither educated nor willing to work. They are taught an entitlement attitude in school. Just ask any employer.
So, until the education system is fixed, I’m ok with a temporary increase in LEGAL immigrants.
Many more legal immigrants are collecting government checks than illegals. I know personally 5 individuals who came in legally as parents of naturalized citizens, and every one of them is collecting supplemental social security checks and get Medicaid even though their sponsors for green cards have plenty of money. None of those legal immigrants worked even an hour in the United States. How is that benefiting the country?
