There is no shortage of STEM workers. There is a shortage of STEM workers who will do technology for 9 bucks an hour.

$9.00 might be a little low, but I tend to believe your general explanation is correct in a big majority of the cases.

You fire your entire IT staff and outsource the whole IT operation to a company that in turn hires the H-1b scabs for you. It is a scam and needs to stop.

Legal immigrants that I know do. They wait for years and years, earn there entry into this country, want to become “American” and are prideful when they become American. They despise illegals and dems.

Regardless we need a moratorium on all immigration. Wages are stagnant and we are on a the verge of a socialist take over because of it.

Don’t play dumb with me.....Center for Immigration Studies, Numbers USA & on & on. I’ve been involved with immigration control groups since the 80s. Check out Ann Coulter’s new book for a breakdown of the numbers.

I heard a caller on Laura Ingraham who said he was a former Con Ed or Disney worker. Said those laid off were making arond $100,000 or more, and the Indians hired were paid $50 - $60,000. And the $50 to $60,000 is not a good salary in California.

It’s just amazing this can happen. I wish some lawyer experienced in this area of law would explain how this happens, what the loopholes are, or if it is a matter of no enforcement. - Because when H1-Bs are explain to the public by the politicans, it sure doesn’t souind like this should happen.

What no one has mentioned so far:

If we shut down legal immigration, no one can hope to come here other than iullegally so illegal border crossings will explode even more than now.

Secure the border first, stop all immigration and then decide how many should come legally.

I would guess that is what Cruz is thinking.

“At this point Cruz could not buy my vote. But neither could Walker or Rubio.”

Have you considered joining FR’s “We Walk on Water” cult? It’s a syrupy mix of perfect beings who bless FR with their presence every election cycle. Every candidate is scum and only the “We Walk on Water” cult can save us by bashing every candidate.

" . . . shame on them."

Now there's a real profit killer for corporations.

Something I'm sure will convince them to ignore the tens if not hundreds of millions of bucks per year they can save putting H1-B Visa holders into jobs instead of more expensive US citizens.

Send cute little sympathy cards to the people in technical fields who can't find jobs right this minute while Congress critters blather about how many jobs are going unfilled, too.

No one has yet to explain how it is that anyone who is "Conservative" insists that we have to remove the very market forces they pretend to champion from the technical skills job market.

That, "We need them right now" trash is nothing but hot air, there are plenty of people with the required technical skills who can't find work. Companies don't want to hire people in their later forties or over fifty, companies managers don't like geeks being paid as much as they are, the available people don't want to move to the paradise of CA, on and on.

None of that is a shortage of skilled people. It's a surplus of managements that can only make their bonus goal by cutting headcount or paying technical people less.

Move the rest of the technical jobs in CA to another state and the mythical shortage of people to fill them will vanish overnight. The problem with that is that the big money gang owns the CA government and is fighting tooth and nail to stay in CA.

Look Sarge, everybody has their lines in the sand. Mine are immigration and passing bills kept secret from the public. You don’t like my lines? That’s your right. Impugning others motives? Not right at all.

I gave you 3 quick sources off the top of my head. I could give you 20 more with a little research....how about this: you give me one source, just one, that shows the 40 million legal immigrants that have come here since the 1965 immigration bill vote majority conservative.

" to severely limit the number of legal immigrants allowed "
-------------------------------------------------------------

What does ILLEGAL MEAN.?.. Jeff Sessions does not know.. Pity.

With people "Obamaized" and bewitched it has nebulous meaning..

Answer: Under Obama, the Clinton's and pretty much all the Bush's..
ILLEGAL means why they SAY IT MEANS....

It don't mean what it actually means.......
It means what they tell you it means..

“The people who run the GOP woud burn the party to the ground before ceding control to conservatives.”

The national GOP doesn’t control the state and local GOP, Lurkinanloomin. Local citizens and the state control it.

You really need to stop focusing exclusively on national DC politics and acquaint yourself with local and state GOP members who are on your side. Get your butt out and meet these people.

But it was a big surprise that those rejecting it included hard-core tea-party senators who are almost certain to vote against the immigration bill—Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Mike Lee, R-Utah, John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

It would be interesting to see how you can make excuses for Cruz on this. Why attack two people who are not even running?
