Its Legalization status not citizenship that Cruz proposed and now he suggests it was a poison pill. I have a hard time buying this from Cruz who we have contributed to twice, and I am on his donor email list. Cruz did vote for a bill eventually, that didn’t have his language in it. Maybe he at that point wanted to get along by going along, but its not convincing me.
What bothers me is Cruz wanting 5x the H1b visa’s as his position. I know most freepers like me don’t like this position of Ted’s. But, I still like Ted on 95 percent of what he stands for. I wish he would publically disavow this stand.
I am an engineer and IT person, and believe me we have generations of STEM people out of jobs that the Indian and Asian engineers have taken on H1b visas. Close to 1 million foreigners doing work Americans want.
H1b send money back home, they don’t buy homes, a major economic loss. Our college grads are defaulting on loans because they can’t get jobs they trained for, and the taxpayers me and you are on the hook for these dead paper.
A flip flop by Ted would only help him. When your wrong you just say your wrong. There is now Stem shortage.
I have an out of work friend with 2 masters degrees consulting as a H1b programmer trainer. He says he knows lots of people free to do the same job but for 35 percent more money, its so dishonest what the Cheap Labor Express does to their fellow Americans.
“I am an engineer and IT person, and believe me we have generations of STEM people out of jobs that the Indian and Asian engineers have taken on H1b visas. Close to 1 million foreigners doing work Americans want.”
I’m not in IT but know people who are and I’m certain that you are correct.
