Any republican politician who rails against amnesty yet is pushing this H-1B crap while filling his campaign coffers with corporate cash is selling out American workers just the same.

Turns out Ted Cruz wants to raise the H-1B cap by 500%.
I'd rather see 500% increase of US students in STEM programs, but they're too busy with art history, social justice, and political science degrees. So, in lieu of that, raising the H-1B cap makes sense.

Good point. We’re turning out little socialists in college and high school these days.

You are so wrong.U.S. stem grads can’t get jobs. Don’t need H1b increase or the abuses by employers with them.

Those that can STEM. Those that can’t vote Democrat
You assume that all or at least many can STEM when both intelligence and initiative are required for success.
a Baltimore street kid or a ditsy phone girl has neither

What part of
H-1B applicants are replacing American workers don't you get? This is just as bad as Mexicans taking jobs and depressing wages of carpenters and gardeners.
Oh, the hypocrisy of some of you Cruz supporters.

So, in lieu of that, raising the H-1B cap makes sense. If you remove H-1b visas, salaries will go up and students will again invest is a STEM education.

I don’t support Cruz at all. You can’t support an ineligible candidate. Those “displaced” workers will have jobs in a few hours if they have IT skills.

raising the H-1B cap makes sense I must respectfully disagree. Let the American market right any STEM shortage. If there is a shortage of such folks, their salaries will go up, and more folks will enter the field.
That's exactly what happened with nursing in recent years.
I don't know what Cruz is thinking about here, but a wild increase of H-1B's will just help destroy what's left of the American middle class.

Training foreign workers to do the job you just lost. Wow - can’t get much more ‘in your face’ than that.

To: Rockitz
Additionally, more H-1B workers mean more jobs for American workers according to a study by the American Enterprise Institute, for every additional 100 H-1B workers, 183 jobs are created for U.S. citizens. Ok, how...exactly....does that happen, Ted? I want a detailed explanation. Not just a vague claim from a study done by some "institute". Where are these 183 jobs per H-1B worker being created? Show us. Cause I'm not seeing it.

The displaced are the older, more experienced IT workers. It is hard for us to find new work as the influx of foreign labor, who employers do not have to pay as much for due to government rules, fill many of the positions.

It makes no sense at all, there are actually just flat out taking American jobs. I have been in the business 20 years; every time this happens its not because they can’t find people or one of the other oft used lies.

I don't know what Cruz is thinking about here, but a wild increase of H-1B's will just help destroy what's left of the American middle class. And in true Cloward-Piven style, as more and more American workers are forced onto unemployment, and then onto welfare due to the reality of "no jobs in America" for them. This is BS. When are Americans going to rise up and say enough???

Why? There are already plenty of STEM graduates. The so called shortage is a lie. Corporations simply want foreign workers they can abuse.

(The US has become a government with a country, rather than a country with a government.)
To: Rockitz
According to federal guidelines, the visas are intended for foreigners with advanced science or computer skills to fill discrete positions when American workers with those skills cannot be found. Their use, the guidelines say, should not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of Americans. Because of legal loopholes, however, in practice, companies do not have to recruit American workers first or guarantee that Americans will not be displaced. H-1B visas were supposed to be about jobs looking for workers, not workers looking for jobs.
The original purported need was during the dot com boom, when web-based programming was all the fad and businesses didn't want to wait for trained-up internal employees to meet the need. They demanded H-1B visa workers who could come here and immediately be productive.
That demand has since passed, and programming skills are commodity now. Employers no longer have the excuses of an immediate unfulfilled need.
This Department of Labor PowerPoint presentation The Employment of Non-Immigrants on H-1B Visas clearly says that H-1B visas are not to be used to displace American workers.
The language is clear that a company has to make a good-faith effort to find similarly qualified American workers. In Disney's case, the qualified American workers were already on the job.
