Thanks for the link, conservative joy.
The Cruz-Sessions legislation concerns H-1B and OPT work visas, which are temporary, and do not allow the visa holder to remain in the USA after the visa expires.
It has nothing to do with LEGAL permanent residents, who can stay in the USA as long as they like, are eligible for all welfare benefits, and are free to apply for any USA job they want, with some security and citizenship exclusions.
In recent years, the USA has allowed roughly 1.5 million new LEGAL permanent residents to enter each year.
1.5 million X 8 years = 12 million.
Massive LEGAL immigration has crushed the wage scale and job opportunities for low skill American citizens.
And currently, Cruz wants 12 million more of them!
