Both parties bear the responsibility for this.
Have your subsistence garden ready? Soon nobody’s gonna be working and the only ones eating will be the ones with the rifles and non-gmo seeds.
This is one of my major issues with Ted Cruz right now. Increasing the number of H1B’s fivefold is not helpful to the U.S. economy.
Same with me. But I also believe that Ted Cruz can be made to understand the impacts of what he is proposing, and I believe he would change his stance.
They are not so great for companies either...
I have worked with a TON of these H1B visa holders and made a career out of fixing stuff written by cheap labor.
what is so good about non-gmo seeds?
Why non-GMO?
Symantec just laid off a whole ton of people about 3-6 months after selling half their huge office to Veritas in Springfield, Or.
Guess what happened to the laid off positions? All outsourced to third parties outside of the US. I know by acquaintance at least 3 people affected by the layoffs. Before Veritas bought half of Symantec’s property I am sure the office had at least 1,000 IT staff. Maybe 2,000. Now I know this isn’t immigrants taking the jobs. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the lay offs were not outsourced but given to new laborers from India. In fact, I would be shocked to find out that none of the employees were replaced by foreigners.

For one thing, you own them and can do with them what you’d like.
Investigate the “basis”, both home and abroad.
The U6 is 22%.
How many Americans have jettisoned their desire to be productive?
How many Americans have simply resigned themselves to be “under-employed” according to their education and training?
Last, how does the American industrial/education system deal with those who believe the USA owes them employment because...well, they were born here.
Many GMO plants are ‘sterile’ and next year’s crop cannot be grown with the seeds from those plants. They’re engineered so you need to keep purchasing seeds from the manufacturer. Heirloom plants, on the other hand, provide seeds for the next season.
This and that he got played on lowering the standard for what it takes to pass that new trade deal. It's why I think a better situation would be Cruz helping set things straight in the US Senate for four years under President Trump. He could use that time to get better about avoiding missteps such as these two.
Ted Cruz’ wife works for Goldman Sachs.
NO ONE with Bankster connections is gonna save us!!!!
It is my major issue with Ted Cruz as well. The H1-B argument is a complete lie.
Oh you have that right, no one with Goldman Sacks connections is right on this issue.
I was a computer programmer for over 20 years. I switched to Business Analysis around 2004 because it requires strong written and oral communication skills. You can’t just train up a bunch of indians to do it from the other side of the planet.

It’s not just that meetings take a long time because people have to keep repeating themselves and explaining what they are saying. The REAL damage is when people just give up trying to understand and go forward with what they think the person was probably trying to say. This is absurdly costly for everyone concerned. And sometimes worse.
