Ted Cruz Does Not Support H1-B Visa Increase, Program Must Be Reformed to Protect American Workers
You Tube ^ | 11/12/2015

Posted on 11/12/2015 1:29:53 PM PST by conservativejoy

Ted Cruz, in an interview with Laura Ingraham was asked about his position on H1-B Visas. Ted explains his position now as opposed to his position in 2013. Cruz and Sessions are crafting legislation to reform the H1-B program and to deal with he abuses that are harming American workers.

The entire interview is excellent and the H1-B visa issue discussion begins around the 7:50 mark.

Sorry I don’t agree with you.

Of course you don't.

And I am one of those one issue -- IMMIGRATION -- voters, largely because we don't get those nice things you want without it.

Yeah, isn’t that odd how a few short years ago Donald Trump’s views were mostly liberal but once he decided to run for president he suddenly found him self and his supporters some how “ conservative “..

Don’t point out someone elses mite in their eye when you have a board in your own eye.

Megyn Kelly recently asked Cruz the exact same question about whether he would deport illegal immigrants.

Cruz responded that her question was a “distraction” from more important immigration issues, and he basically refused to give her a specific and honest answer.

They were never going to support Ted Cruz in the first place, disingenuous to say the least.

They got to have the H-1B cross to crucify Ted Cruz on, they gots to have that H-1B issue to keep picking a bone with Ted Cruz.

It would be a true statement if Trump was a true blue conservative but he isn’t.

Even some of his supporters tout that Ted Cruz is to conservative whereas Trump can and will have “ broad “ appeal to liberals, Democrats, blue dog “ Union “ Democrats.

BS !

Trump’s views suddenly became conservative just as soon as he was thinking of running in 2016 and you and other Trump supporters know it.

Anything that Trump says will turn off potential Voters more so than what a few nasty Trump supporters will on a political forum.

You know very well most of those supporters of Ben Carson knew what Trump was trying to imply and if Carson implodes and his campaign falls apart Ted Cruz will be picking up a lot of Carson’s supporters, leaving Trump with very little.

That’s how it’s going to play out in the next few weeks.

Trump shot himself in his own foot by opening his big mouth and his supporters can’t blame no one else if Trump’s words and actions cause him to lose supporters and don’t gain any supporters from any candidates groups.

We are seeing the beginning of the end of the Trump train express.

LOL, Trump flip flops on his many wives evolving to see if he will keep them.

This alone will turn off many women voters.

H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

I listened to this as soon as I got it. He’s officially conservative. He needs to be specific about how he’d reform and enforce the program, but he is now NOT for a 500K increase in H1-Bs.

Sky’s the limit for him now. If Trump flames out, Cruz can pick up the nomination and we appear to be in pretty good shape, if he actually does what he says he’s going to do.

Isn’t that always the disclaimer?

The program needs to be gone, anyone who thinks this abuse can be reformed is lying to themselves. This program has been abused from day one and its flagrant abuse daily gets bigger and bigger. There is only 1 way to stop it, and that’s to kill it.

His prior support was based on actual need,

The need was for corporation to have the power to set wages a low as possible for some of the best IT jobs. It has always been a scam. It has been going on for decades.

So am I, but this is real progress. If Cruz is sincere about this, then it means there is an alternative to Trump. I’m a fan of Trump, but anything can happen. I’ve seen what they’ve done to Carson of late.

Never underestimate the treasonous capacity of the Press to undermine the United States of America.

I have never understood why the Democrats never made hay out of H-1b visa abuse. I would vote for Bernie if he promised a wall, to deport and end H-1b visas.

Both parties have been bought off.
