The author of this article is a great propagandist. Why?
Because the Cruz Amendment was TURNED DOWN. It is dead. It was offered as an amendment to the comprehensive immigration bill that everyone hated.
If it was EVERYTHING the liberals want, THEN WHY did they turn it down?
1. It absolutely prohibited any illegal alien EVER having a path to citizenship.
2. It made ANY immigrant acceptable ONLY by LEGAL immigration.
3. It required: business H-1Bs to put up a million bucks. It doubled the fees for all H-1Bs. It required other H-1Bs to ALREADY have a research position. For other H-1Bs, it required the Bureau of Labor to VERIFY that we have a labor shortage in that particular field.
Why, if this was such a “liberal” gold mine, did that previous Senate KILL IT? It’s obvious if you read the above restrictions it would have placed on the comprehensive immigration bill.
Finally, let me repeat: It is dead. Harry Reid and pals killed it.
You an I know that. JQ Public learns in eight second sound bites. “Cruz wants more H1B foreigners to take your job”. That will sink him if he does not make his position clear.See this thread for proof.
