Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina admitted Wednesday she used the H-1b visa program to hire foreign workers while CEO at Hewlett-Packard, but rejected any comparison to Disney’s recently reported use of the program to displace American tech workers.
“Did we ask American workers to train foreign workers with H-1b visas so that we can pay them less and lay them off?” she said on the Howie Carr radio show Wednesday. “The answer is most definitely no.”
“I can’t remember exactly — it was a long time ago — how many [were brought in],” she added. “But there were some particular jobs where we needed particular sets of skills, where we were growing a particular business.”
The H-1b visa program is intended to allow businesses to hire high-skilled foreign workers to fill jobs when they can’t find American workers. Most of the Republican presidential candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio want to expand the program.

H1B is supposed to be for employees who bring unique skills that are rare in the workforce. In other words they are not meant to take any jobs from citizens. They are not meant to allow for paying lower salaries.
Disney and LA DWP seem to be gaming the system.
Shades of HILLARY. I can't recall, I don't remember. What difference does it make? Time to move on. blah, blah, blah.
Well the “Carly Surge” certainly didn’t last long.
Complain complain.
Then admit she does same thing.
Geeze
Perhaps Carly can recall the ruin of Lucent, HP and Compaq.
30,000 America workers lost their jobs under her tenure.
“I can’t remember exactly” is just avoiding a lie or admitting that Fiorina fired American workers and replaced them with H1B. After 30K American jobs lost, good she got fired. She probably couldn’t win election as a dog catcher.
It’s ashame that Compaq is gone. I have a Compaq and lasted very long. Compaq computer never gave me any trouble. When something is so good these morons have to screw it up.
I wish I could say the same about Compaq.
Many years ago, I bought a Compaq desktop.
The hard drive crashed three days after I bought the computer.
Took it back to Staples, and they didn’t carry that model anymore! I bought it about four days earlier.
Traded it for an HP desktop. It was more expensive, so I had to add more money. This was, I think, in 1999.
Ole horseface is not worth discussing. She’s just the short-lived canon fodder thrown at the Trump fortress by the elite. They’re desperate.

according to this vid, they did have to train their own replacements.
