H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

Does the bill have a clause embedded that increases the number of H1-B visas after all the “reforms” are proclaimed and then forgotten?

Despite his interview remarks, Cruz may still favor a big increase in the H-1B cap, albeit with tighter rules around how visa workers are used. In arguing for his proposed increase two years ago, Cruz pointed to what he called "a serious shortage" of STEM workers. He has not said anything lately to indicate he has changed his mind about that shortage.

As long as Cruz continues to parrot this bogus talking point, I will not believe he is serious about addressing this issue.

The entire H1B program can be solved by requiring employers pay 125% of the prevailing national wage for these positions. Voila, no problem.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I would put it into law that if an American worker is displace by an H1B visa holder that the company would be forced to pay them 2 years’ wages and benefits.

More Trump Effect!! Put American Workers First!!

Cruz will hopefully sign on, as well. I've read that he's flip-flopped on his H1-B Visa stance, so we'll see.

[Tired of Taxes]

Well, this seems to be a start in the right direction.

Next, I hope something is done about other work visa programs like the J-1 (Summer Work Travel Program), which brings in unskilled labor to do minimum-wage jobs.

I’ve seen elephants fly again!!! It is a rarety that I can agree with Durbin. Although it is interesting that this has happened twice this year—the last time was a couple months ago on the TPP bill.

GOP elite pushing away the base big time!
