It’s not as if Trump isn’t for the same thing.

So, who are you going to vote for?

NOBODY in this race meets your criteria.

Cruz definitely explains his rationale for increasing the H-1B visa program by 500% in that video extremely well. Rubio is several rungs below with ISQUARED.

Read my tagline closely.

I don’t know what ISQUARED means but Cruz’ reasons for increasing H-1Bs was solid and he sourced all of his data points. That said, he now wants a 180 day moratorium on H-1Bs to root out corruption in the program.

I’m in favor of economic growth and more jobs for Americans.

Why is it Trump gets a pass when he flips on an issue, even immigration, but not Cruz?

Trump’s companies hired H1B employees. We’re there no Americans to take those jobs?

RE: Read my tagline closely.

If you’re a one issue voter ( which I hope you’re not ), I guess you might as well stay home because I don’t see anyone who want to restrict immigration the way you seem to want.

Read the bio. Single issue with a snotty attitude.

Yo, Read, consider for a moment that your buds have an exaggerated opinion of their value to their respective employers and need to rethink some things.

I’m a one issue voter.

Take a look at France right now. Maybe you can guess.

RE: I’m a one issue voter.

As I said before, don’t vote in 2016.

You don’t have a candidate that meets your stringent criteria.

For that matter, don’t vote ever. I can’t think of one possible candidate who meets your criteria other than yourself.

I used to have an exaggerated opinion of my government. I definitely rethought some things.

France closed their borders today. A moratorium on legal immigration isn't simply economic. It's also national security.

I await a positive conservative message to emerge.

I full well understand people changing their minds, but Cruz is stating he has always been against increasing H1-Bs and the like. When you read his own press statement from his own website, you KNOW that’s a lie. He has not EVER said he’s “changed his mind,” but instead says his words in the press release were a lie, meant to smoke out Democrats.

I’m sorry, but that press release, and his stances since, show he is not afraid to lie. He’d rather lie than say he’s changed.

Our household sent him many hundreds of dollars right after he announced. After multiple attempts to contact his campaign, I still haven’t ever been told what he said in yesterday’s Laura Ingraham show, and would have told the Criz rep that Cruz was lying, if I had been told.

I take it you saw my later post with Cruz’s press release and the Laura Ingraham show from yesterday?

No, he has said no increase in any H1-Bs, period.

That would mean that from the 20,000 foreign US grads currently allowed to stay as an H1-B (20,000 over the 65,000), one would expect that the 65,000 NOT having graduated from US school would be made to be only or mainly from US schools.

That is EXACTLY true. But now, Cruz is saying he was lying the. to get the Gang of Eight to show their cards and cote against his amendment (mentioned in a GLOWING press release available in my earlier post).

Cruz Lies.

It may be hard for you to imagine but some people can walk and chew gum at the same time.

And now Cruz says the 500% increase was a lie meant to smoke out the Gang of Eight. So Cruz says his press release and amendment was only a fake smoke screen and that he never wanted to increase H1-Bs.

Please see my earlier post with the two links for confirmation.

Occam’s Razor: The simplest or easiest explanation is the most likely answer.

Cruz lies.

Trump wants to permanently legalize foreign students who graduate from our colleges. That's 250K every year and they never have to leave. So every year you get an additional 250K.

No, he has said no increase in any H1-Bs, period.

No. Trump wants to legalize permanently foreign US grads. That has nothing to do with temporary H1B visas.
