Besides, that false argument (red herring) didn’t matter. It’s wrong to replace existing American jobs with foreigners. Immigration is for family members of Americans and foreigners who really want to be Americans. It’s not for those who only care about the money.
One thing I’m not is an anti-Cruz troll. I have been enthusiastic about him for a long time.
“Information technology workers at Southern California Edison (SCE) are being laid off and replaced by workers from India. Some employees are training their H-1B visa holding replacements, and many have already lost their jobs.
The employees are upset and say they can’t understand how H-1B guest workers can be used to replace them.”
This has inspired a Congressional investigation. Disney did the same thing in Florida. This should make Cruz smile.
This post by Nunaya Biddness III is insightful:
Xenophobia? Oh please - There in nothing Xenophobic about it. Riddle me this; When did the willingness of foreign nationals to enter our nation illegally and exploit us create a debt Americans must pay?
Like every other People on earth, Americans have a right to demand and expect our Government to act in their best interests, just as Government has a Duty to protect, defend, and act in the best interests of our Citizens....that is not happening now. Our American Governments job is to represent the interests of Americans, ‘We the People’ not the wants of foreign nationals who illegally enter our nation, or the select business who hire them at our expense. Government has a duty to act in the best interests of the Citizens of our nation; not stab us in the back for political gain or campaign contribution.
Corporations are now importing cheap labor for the jobs they cannot ship overseas and profiting from that cheap labor at the expense of our workers and nation, harming every American, working or not, with increased taxes, lower wages, decreased services at greater expense, lower quality of life, higher crime and lower earnings ...That is the reality. Americans owe Illegals and Visa Holders nothing - we owe the Companies importing them and Politicians supporting them even less.
That foreign labor is no bargain at all for our Citizens, the American workers who pay the taxes to subsidize them. Of course we have a right to defend our borders, standard of living and protect our nations prosperity for our children...and just like every other nation on earth, so we should.
We have no need to import labor. We have plenty of talent right here at home, and we do not need to import Poor either. We have our own poor, and it is they who deserve our assistance. We do not need illegals at all, nor do we need more immigrants; we need less. There is no shortage of STEM Workers either;
The STEM Crisis Is a Myth; http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-wo...
Take a look around - We need less immigration, not more, and we don’t need any Illegals at all. We need to care for our own
65,000 ain’t shit.
yes
:-(
Scratch Cruz off the list of candidates I might vote for.
I have a better idea: How about if we offshore Congress and get rid of every single one of the corrupt SOB's in DC instead?
That's EXACTLY what it's all about.
H1B bump for later.....
H1B — the companies that hire them rotate them in and out every 6 months to meet the requirements.
Take a look around - We need less immigration, not more, and we don’t need any Illegals at all. We need to care for our own.
Good post. I agree 100%.
> “The average H1B ‘er is not Tesla or Einstein, thanks.”
And you got that information from where? From personal observation or from documented statistics? Because if it’s not from documented statistics, then your post is worthless.
Let’s say for the moment you are correct and that what you’re really saying is that the average H1B is about the level of an average IT Worker. Whose fault would that be? And do you think Ted Cruz would continue to have H1Bs issued to mediocre workers? Because if you’re saying that is the case, then your future as a political analyst is dim indeed.
I wouldn’t call them ‘keyboard warriors’. More like brainless hecklers with thick skulls at best and paid trolls at worst.
> “ed cruise has lost my vote.... “
Ba-Bye! Enjoy life among the idiots!
I cannot feel about them as you apparently do. I have relatives among them. Those I know personally are decent, hardworking people. They are also precious souls for whom Christ died.
Besides, they are behaving rationally. The opportunity is there. Why shouldn't they take it? I do not begrudge them the desire for a better life. But it should be on terms that favor our rational bests interests as Americans.
Peace,
SR
Scott Walker is looking like the only GOP candidate that is worth his salt.

Look at time 4:08 of the link above. I’ve seen that youtube video clip several times before and nowhere does Ted Cruz mention replacement of American workers with cheap labor driven by market forces. Rather at time 4:08 he gets to the meat of his presentation which is the retaining of top talent.
You have not had experience with working and managing top talent in scientific fields because if you had had such experience, then you would not be citing the ieee article by a failed computer programmer who found a gig to write for a journal that has trouble finding on a consistent cycle publication worthy manuscripts (IEEE is spotty). I say that because I have witnessed many programmers who thought life was about sitting in front of workstation only to find themselves out on the street after it was determined they were not productive or more accurately not qualified. Charette is so wrong on so many fronts it’s not worth commenting on. He’s a mediocre tech guy who would be more suited to running a bakery if he could handle it.
At time 4:08 Ted Cruz gets to the heart of the matter and that is America’s top faculty, in addition to scouting out American born talent, also see foreign students and colleagues that they want to retain on H1B and they cannot because there are none available and MORE IMPORTANTLY BECAUSE THEIR VOICES ARE NOT GIVEN PRIORITY.
When a top scientist pushes the envelope and needs to fill 5 slots in the laboratory and has only 3 Americans that are qualified and available, but has 2 foreign born talents that are qualified but can’t get work authorizations, then the research is hampered even crippled. And when those foreign born scientists return to Russia or China, they are used in technology development that is a threat to America. The situation is clear, the US policy on H1Bs needs reform. And Ted Cruz understands that and will act to implement the needed reforms.
Charette’s gripe is that the market is pleading STEM shortage so that they can lower costs. BULLSHIT. Charette is another whiner who couldn’t make it in the field. Like an actress who kept getting rejections at auditions, he blames it on producers wanting sex on the couch. He’s a loser.
> “I think his premise is wrong. The relationship of the STEM workforce to the STEM marketplace is actually pretty complex.”
No it’s not complex. Charette wants to gripe and he’s found an outlet.
Have certain companies found a way to game the system to get cheaper labor? Yes, of course. But whose fault is that? And when did it start?
Go back to WWII, the 1950s and 1960s, America had a race to become the most advanced technological nation, in a race with the USSR. I knew personally a GM-15 government scientist that had worked alongside Wernher Von Braun on America’s space program and rocket technology. The GM-15’s name was Dick Olson. Dick was from an era when being a government scientist meant he was worth much more than his weight in gold. It was a time when government workers were tops because it was possible to hire and fire at will in order to get the right team and keep the progress bar moving forward as fast as possible. Having the right people was essential to success or failure. When I met Dick he was ready to retire and he wanted me to take over but he told me to get clear on what I was up against. He was frustrated. By the year 1988, he recounted he could not get top talent because the goddam OPM and anti-discrimination policies had him giving workers warnings, 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances while holding their hands and talking sweet when all he wanted to do was to kick them out and get the right people on the team. And if half of the scientists he needed on his team were foreigners, then so be it because America had had plenty of experience at resettling German rocket scientists in Huntsville, Alabama and other places. There were no whiners about foreign scientists back in those days. But the result he was left with was a team of losers, of deadwood, of people that sat at desks and didn’t know asses from a hole in the ground and who would take a little Fortran course to show they were ‘high tech’.
For the crybaby high level monkey workers, they need to be drafted into the Army and have their asses kicked on a daily basis. They wouldn’t make it in the Marines, or they wouldn’t survive.
Yes I’m a mean SOB. It runs in my family. It’s genetic. Here’s a close relative of mine who’s first words in the article frame the motto for the whole family and for all of America and American history:
Ted Cruz is much nicer and gentlemanly. But behind him are a lot of mean American SOBs that are going to get this country moving again and aren’t going to put up with the likes of the whiners seen on this thread or anywhere else.
Have I missed the point of the Charette ‘article’ aka whine? No, I haven’t because there is no point. The reason American leaders are pleading for more STEM workers is not because of costs, it’s because there is not enough that are truly qualified, do or die, get it done, keep America in the lead. Whether the crybabies fall victim to a boom or bust cycle is IRRELEVANT. The true talent is always in demand. The failures can go bake cupcakes at a bakery for homosexual clientele.
—And you got that information from where? From personal observation or from documented statistics? Because if it’s not from documented statistics, then your post is worthless.—
So you’re saying the H1-B work is equivalent to Tesla or Eisntein ?
-LOL-
You’re just another sucka for a smooth talking Ivy Leaguer who doesn’t respect you at all.
And you’re a proven liar.
the sound of Cruz crickets.
chirping.
