It doesn't make sense.
So, instead of encouraging foreigners to stay couldn't we get the same result educating more American citizens in those same disciplines? Instead of inviting more foreign students in (because they're more profitable for the universities)?
To believe this is not a viable alternative is to imply that there is something genetically wrong with Americans.
Yes...There's something skewed in the premise here...There are tons of American college graduates who are flipping burgers because the available jobs are being taken by American educated foreigners who will work for far less than their American counter-parts...
Cruz wants to increase those numbers shutting out Americans from even future positions...
Seems like there's something in Cruz's plan we are not being told...
Cruz is definitely pro Constitution and rule of law but is he for America and Americans first??? Or is he perhaps another globalist???
There aren’t enough American kids who are willing to do the work necessary to gain such an education. The norm has shifted a good bit from what it was when I came up. Today, a kid who works hard, makes good grades, goes to a good School with a real major is the exception.
The majority is now lazy and entitled. Seriously. That’s why we’re short of qualified workers. Women’s studies, gender studies, etc we have plenty.
My issues with letting more people in is that those we’re currently letting in are net tax consumers by a friggin long shot, we don’t know who or where they are, they’re taking jobs that we DO have people for (unskilled), they get benefits (they should not- if you come here you must contribute not suck resources), and they’ll try to vote.
I’m ok letting people in who don’t get benefits, don’t vote, don’t take jobs Americans can do,
Can H1-B help combat that? I don’t know. But I do know we have to secure the border and control what comes in. Hopefully what come in _helps_ us.
