Re:There are no perfect candidates in this race: last time around Trump called self-deportation “maniacal”, and after feeling the heat Cruz has recently seen the light and come out in support of American jobs for Americans.

Cruz has been promoting more H-1B’s throughout his career. Suddenly he has had a revelation that Americans are being forced to train their replacements or forgo severance?

H-1B’s have been used to replace American workers who were forced to train them as a condition of getting severance since at least the mid 1990’s.

By 2001 there was negative job growth for American STEM workers. More H-1B’s were imported than new STEM jobs created.

Cruz has very skillfully used language to disguise the fact that after the very temporary hold during which there will be a dog and pony show hearing, he was all for continuing importing the same number of H-1B’s unless some nebulous criteria are met.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above is worth repeating. The ONLY candidate I would trust to do something about this is Trump. Now of course, he doesn’t own congress, but (a.) he will own the regulators, and I’d love to see them turned like rabid dogs on Silicon Valley and the F100. (b.), he can definitely shape Congress more to his liking three years after he takes office. He will call a turtle...The Turtle.

Trump is the ONLY candidate who IMO can’t be bought. The only difference among the others is their price tags.

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Senator Cruz are presently collaborating together on legislation to reform the H-1B program. I'm curious, do you trust the judgment of Jeff Sessions to do the right thing on this issue?
