fta... He wants to run on his bio in the general election as the son of immigrants, who made good on the American dream, ...
***********************
Cruz is not the son of immigrants. His mother was a US citizen when he was born.
Rubio is the son of Cuban parents.
The key thing from Malkin’s book is that the specific study Cruz cited several years ago as showing that H-1Bs help add additional American jobs to the economy was thoroughly debunked. They got behind-the-scenes records from the author that showed she kept cutting down the length of years she included in her study until she suddenly found a block of time where it looked like U.S. jobs went up at a higher rate than the level of H-1B hiring. If she had included the additional 3 years she originally did, it showed the opposite occurring, U.S. jobs being lost as H-1Bs went up. It was a nonsense study that proved no correlation between hiring H-1Bs and an increase of U.S. hiring.
See my post 22. Cruz cited a nonsense, manipulated study that me and others debunked on FR several months ago on the basis of common sense, and which Malkin THOROUGHLY debunked in her new book after getting access to all of the study author’s research.
Trump did say on O’Reilly this week that both Rubio and Cruz lack experience in the private sector and being job-creators. Just a couple weeks ago Trump wouldn’t say a bad thing about Carson. Look how that changed. Trump targets anyone who stands in his way to the nomination and he will savage Cruz if Cruz gets close. Then the conservative base will be split and at war with ourselves like we’ve never seen.
First of all let’s clarify one thing. He clearly said that it was “a cap not a requirement.”
Anyway, he cited five separate studies. Which one did you debunk?
What Trump doesn't seem to realize is that the President does not create jobs, and we don't want the President to create jobs - we want the President to help get the government out of the way and let the private sector create the jobs. If Trump wants to be the job-creator-in-chief, he should stay in the private sector.
Cruz must be snorting Koch.
Amazing, isn’t it, what happens when a “big name” like Malkin becomes associated with the issues of visa and green card abuse? Suddenly, the NY Post notes the book, a publicity tour is held (including the National Press Club), and CSPAN on Friday (yesterday) had a “kumbaya” session where all the callers on the air agreed with the authors of “Sold Out”.
It’s been happening for at least two decades now in the IT world. But now it’s to the point where ordinary Americans can’t find entry-level work as CNAs that would give them the “experience” to get hired on at the hospitals. Come to think of it, who is attending you in the hospital?
That’s why the Feds can be so choosy (when they want to) about which college grads they hire. Those grads that don’t have an in with a firm, or speak Spanish, face a tougher job market.
I meant grads that are not English/Spanish bilingual.
He DOES cite the worker participation rate rather than the unemployment rate as a criteria. Let the sheep sleep soundly.
Compared to Trump? Weak.
You don’t spend three hours together in NYC for martinis.
“Also, I was on the phone with a Cruz fund raiser and I told him as a retired IT guy that its a myth that we don’t have enough native talent.”
I do think there is a potential work ethic issue. I have had mixed success with native born co-op college students. The foreign born students here on student visas out-work and out-hustle the native born students almost every time. I said almost every time as I have had 1-2 good younger (18-25) workers, bit many in that age group just don’t want to work and do quality work. Have had better success with older students (35-54).
The usual anti-Cruz trolls show up to whine. Nothing Ted does at this point can make a difference with them. Sad.
One this one issue? Trump is a 10, Ted is a 9.
9 is acceptable to me.

Ted Cruz : EPIC Plan to DEFEAT Obama-GOPe Illegal Immigration and HALT-PROSECUTE H1B Visa Abuse

Trump has flipped flopped more than John Kerry.
Right now, I’ll take any flip or flop that has someone building a fence and deporting illegals. NO ONE else is promising that. So we know for sure, no one else, including Cruz, will do that.
The wall is already authorized by law, no need for the President to do anything but enforce the laws on the books + pass Kate’s law.
If we enforce the laws on the books as Cruz points out, illegals most will LEAVE no need for mass deportation.
Cruz is following principles laid out by Sun Tzu for fighting and winning a war. Trump is screaming like a Chimp and throwing feces against the wall.
Given that Trump has supported amnesty in the past why place blind faith in the guy. I though Cults of Personality were just for libs and commies.

Cruz is stuck at 8%. He'll make a find veep for Trump. If the Wall is authorized, why didn't Cruz fight for that instead of biting for TPP and the Corker Amendment? No, Ted is a great guy but still a creature of Washington.
