WASHINGTON, DC: When it comes to increasing skilled workers on H-1B visas, one could say presidential candidate Ted Cruz is a bit of a black sheep amongst the GOP.The Republican presidential candidate wants to increase the H-1B visas by 500 percent from its 65,000 to 325,000.
Cruz, who announced his run for the Oval office this morning, had made the proposition in 2013 as an amendment to the Senates comprehensive immigration bill.While the Senates Judiciary Committee torpedoed Cruzs amendment, they did approve an increase of 180,000 in the H-1B cap, but the House never acted on the legislation.Its not clear if Cruz had only the base 65,000 H-1B visas for skilled workers from around the globe to emigrate to the US in mind, and he didnt want to include the 20,000 other H-1B visas which are allocated especially for students who graduate from universities in the US.

Did you intend on saying that bassackwards?
Thanks to you I think Ted is going to have to adapt to not getting my vote. You are doing him no favors, I think you might be a walker troll, false flagging it.
We’ll see.
And I don’t let MSM polls influence me. I see what’s happening in the townhalls with the grassroots.
Here’s one of many many examples at time (1:12:40):

You can vote for Hillary or continue to play with yourself.
Because Cruz is beginning to sound just like all the other advocates for the fleecing of America.
And, he has not demonstrated anything that would lead anyone to believe he would ACT any different than the other advocates.
Which begs the question: Why do you think he would demand compliance and enforcement? Why is he different?
Like I said if you are a Cruz supporter Rand Pualites got nothing on you. Like I said you are way over the top and might be false flagging it.
“I sent them a reply that no money and no support what so ever because of his H1B visa and TPP stand and to please take me off their list.”
Good luck. I’ve unsubscribed to the emailing list multiple times with no success.
I thought our webmaster would like to read what you think of IT work.
What?
They gotta fill all those new townhouses and condos they be building here along the new BART corridor, high density , blocks of human residences,, .. almost looks like China..
Its exhausting trying to defend the indefensible. :-)
This would total out the American tech sector.
Jim Robinson is a successful high level innovator and entrepreneur not to be compared with the average IT worker.
Your comparison FAILS.
Not shooting the messenger, I’m shooting retread trolls.
You’ve been pegged as a troll by more than one longtime Freeper since you showed up.
Which, by the way, was three days after Cruz announced his run for the presidency. Since then, you’ve had it out for Cruz and pushed your boy Rand Paul.
Wow. Some of the people purportedly defending Cruz are so over-the-top that I agree, they are probably Randians or Jebusites. Some I know, and I know where they are coming from, I consider them FR friends. But a couple of the others, I think they are phonies.
I like Cruz. I am upset about the O-trade bill and the H1B issue not to drive people to another candidate, but because there really isn’t anyone else. The others I had long ago discounted as not worth consideration. Thats why Cruz’s position is so disappointing. I don’t have a Plan B.
Some of the debate here is among friends who are split by this issue. Some of the people flinging mud I don’t even recognize their names.
Sing with the trolls sweetpea!
We all need to back away from the US COC. They would have their sisters dancing naked if they could earn an extra 2 dollars.
They would rather it be your sister, but hey, it is business.
Maybe if Cruz wasn’t walking from blunder to blunder since his announcement I wouldn’t be so hard on him. And I like the whole wackobird contingent, but Cruzs positions of late is far more detrimental than ethnic pandering.
In all honesty Cruz is my second choice followed by Carson... but he’s been slipping since before he even announced.. his waffling and bad immigration stance began all the way in 2013.
