Obviously what? I'm a structural engineer and systems engineer, 33 years in the field.
I have first hand familiarity with shortage of highly qualified, highly educated workers in engineering and technical fields.
I have witnessed first hand several hundred engineers being layed off at my company this year, and many more the previous three years.
Those type of immigrants we need. And that is exactly what Trump is talking about.
There is no STEM worker shortage.
Senator Sessions Is Right: No STEM Worker Shortage
Trump was asked about the "11 million illegals [sic] already here". He said the bad ones had to go, and he said that for the others, something could be worked out based on merit.
He made no mention of deportations for all the non criminals. That's amnesty.
We do not need 1.5 million legal immigrants every year, 99% of them under educated and under capitalized. That is why I support Santorum on the Trump ticket.
Well then Trump better improve on amnesty if he expects for Santorum to say yes. Santorum is critical of Trump saying that Trump is for amnesty.
Though, amusingly, you've quoted articles from literally a day later where he does exactly that. If you want to call it a flip flop, it's the type of flip flop that is straight into the right direction, unlike Cruz, who for 6 months was trying to have it both ways :).
Sessions works in engineering & technical field? I spent my lifetime working in that field. I will take my opinion over a life long politician.
Engineers getting laid off is a separate issue. It has much more to do with $450 Billion YEARLY trade deficit with China. And back in 1960^s, 70^s and 80^s when engineers had plenty of jobs, even then there was a shortage of really brilliant people in the field.
So if a foreign student displays extra-ordinary achievement, it is asinine to kick her/him out and approve another legal immigrant who has neither the skills or money to bring with them, based on sponsorship by a close relative.
