Cruz is VERY solid on actually ''''requiring laws to be enforced'''' - and that includes '''ALL current immigration laws''''...... That would include enforcing the requirements for H-1b visas to ONLY be allowed where there aren't qualified American citizens available to fill needed positions - and that those hires must be paid the going wage for that position....Cruz said that if an employer abuses the H1b visa program they will be '''prohibited from using it forever''''. PLUS, Cruz would require that companies pay MORE for each H-1b they hire, with the purpose that money go in block grants to states to pay '''for training American citizens'''' in the very fields that have shortages. ....Thus the hires would actually help end the need for the H-1b program while creating excellent careers for citizens

They have been laid off, displaced, by this program and have been unable to find work in their field or have to settle for salaries much lower than they were making. They are ending up working temporary positions, having to move states away, one driving trucks.
I don’t know about other professions but just in my opinion H1-B is a big scam for companies to get cheap labor and no amount of nice words about retraining, enforcing the law, penaties for employers fixs people loosing their homes and jobs under this program helps.
I don’t see it as a program to fix, I see it as a program to get rid off.
