Cruz is from Texas. We have had negative unemployment in the IT industry for a few years.
American college graduates don’t know squat about developing and maintaining software. They know only theory and they have a gimme-dat attitude. They sit around updating their FB status and sending out Tweets instead of working.
In today’s fast paced world of IT, we need developers who know what they are doing, can deliver when asked, and who WANT to work. In my experience, Texas companies are resorting to HB1 visa applicants to get the jobs done on time and under budget.
Proven experience (regardless of citizenship) trumps inexperienced, snot-nosed, gimme-dat brat all day long. If we want to reduce the number of foreign workers taking American jobs, we need to produce American graduates with a work ethic and establish interships that provide real-world experience. JMHO.
I imagine that has had an impact on his position, but I couldn’t say for sure.
H1B visas are indentured servitude.
This nation has record unemployment and you want to import someone to take the entry level developer jobs that should go to recent STEM graduates.
