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.

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.

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.

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

Walk down any street in the US where real people live and you’ll find people laid off from tech jobs that went overseas or were replaced by cheaper foreign labor.

Why should U.S. students go into IT or Engineering or Science when they know that by the time they reach the mid-point of their career they will likely be replaced by a cheaper foreign worker?

So, in lieu of that, raising the H-1B cap makes sense. An area that (for now) will not have competition for H-1B students: Work involving .MIL. A friend's son had a job waiting for him two months before he got his BSEE degree. Defense contractor in most cases can't use foreign nationals, etc. for defense work. My friend said contractors are not ablest find enough US citizens to hire.
