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.

For all the hysteria of Trump in the presidency, red button and all, how would you like to have Ms. Smarty Pants behaving as a shrew scowling down upon America.

Really friendly to snark out your question, then seize the damn thing back again and answer it with acid.

I have a Compaq and lasted very long.”

First computer I ever bought for my company in 1985 was a Compaq and we loaded it with a program called Symphony which I loved. We have a couple of things we still do on it. My grandson thinks it’s a hoot to use, particularly compared to his iPad and iPhone capability.

Trump outsources all of the time. He even mentioned his ties that used to sell at Macy’s were made in China. But for some reason that's ok here?

I have a cheap Everex brand desktop computer for over 7 years. Knock on wood, not a single problem. But I do clean all the debris it collects around the fans and cooling fins every year.

I know nothing lasts forever but I do know that things don’t last as long as they used to. Really distresses me that the first question you are asked when you pay for any piece of equipment any more is, “Do you want to buy a maintenance agreement for one or two years?”

Have my mom’s Frigidaire refrigerator running in my garage and we use it primarily for beverages and overflow food. Has to be at least 40 years old and has never had a service call.

I believe we need a program to bring in high skilled workers but government should make it prohibitively expensive to do this so that the company is motivated to look within the United States for a person with the skill they need.

H1B was initially designed to overcome the nursing shortage, still in effect, but has grown to cover almost everything. Today its a dirty word due to the Disney syndrome.

Perhaps...just perhaps, it can be used to cover medical employee shortages and also tie it to a guest worker agriculture program...?

It’s called the STEM program and it covers many occupations including teacher, doctors and nurses.

Cruz wants a 500% increase and Carly wants more. These programs have been so abusive to American workers. If they’re so bad, why do they have to train their replacements?
