“Senator Rubio looks in the TV cameras and says things he knows are absolutely false.â€

Saying that he’s afraid of Trumps finger on the button was not exactly the high road. I guess Cruz doesn’t mind Hillary’s or Obama’s finger on the nuclear button.
“...like Cruz supporting 500% increase in H1B until just a few weeks ago...”
Well for one thing, the nation *does* need legal H1B visa’s for the tech industry because American kids are stuck-on-stupid majoring in something like “non-profit-clothing-design” or “transnational-gender-equality-studies” and their supposedly American parents support them!! Somewhere in each of our extended families, we likely have one or more kids committing suicide with their (and our) futures doing this same crap.
So there are a crap-ton of *needed* H1B visa’s working in the tech sector and they are most certainly *not* day-labor cheap. The contracts I’ve worked on do not specify a different pay-scale for H1B vs US Citizen and the H1B’s are about as evenly skilled and capable as their US Citizen colleagues. My biggest prob working with them is the language barrier, not their work ethic or skills. That’s just my personal, first-hand observation.
So, if we want to eliminate H1B’s, we will have to slowly wean the tech sector off them by taking some personal responsibility and firmly guiding our children onto learning paths that are actually in demand that can replace the need for H1B’s AND away from the current trend towards a four-year college “adult-day-care” program which tends to render the rest of their adult life on welfare, blogging at the local coffee shop where they can mooch free WiFi.
Don’t vote for Cruz if you don’t like him for whatever reason you may have. There are things about each candidate that are anywhere from unattractive-to-detestable in a given person’s eyes and that goes for everyone from Trump on down. But you should also refrain from dinging any candidate on a topic until you have a solid understanding of the topic. Don’t just parrot some news headline or article you read somewhere because you then risk allowing the media to use you to further *their* narrative.
Oh, I totally agree with you. The 14th Amendment is being abused and I don’t believe it makes Rubio a natural born citizen anymore than Cruz is.
“I AM NOT WHINING YOU NIMROD!
I swear the quality of FR folks have changed dramatically since the 90’s. They absolutely cannot have a discussion about anything.”
So support the ultimate crony capitalist instead.
Hypocrite.
US born Trumps mom naturalized prior to Donalds birth, not 35 years later.
I will go with the founding fathers understood meaning.
You are way off base. I work in IT for the past nearly 35 years and can tell you without any hesitation that there is absolutely no shortage of Americans for IT jobs in the US and there is absolutely no need for any H1B. H1B is simply a way to suppress wages by importing cheap foreign labor.
There is a shortage of IT workers in the USA the below market wages we want to pay. The laws of supply and demand are for you not for the establishment.
That is like defending Hitler's Holocaust by pointing out that it opened up a lot of good real estate and lowered rents for the people.
States that use H-2 Guest Visa Worker Programs....
The problem with the system is that the H-2 workers who are coming in are NOT tied to actual, demonstrated labor shortages....rather ‘company heads’ are ‘abusing the system’ and laws.....many businesses go to ‘extraordinary lengths’ to skirt the law, deliberately denying jobs to American workers so they can hire foreign workers on H-2 visas instead....
Furtther when Americans actually get hired, they often are treated worse and paid less than foreign workers doing the same job, in order to drive the Americans to quit.
Stunningly these companies often do this with the complicity of government officials, records show. State and federal authorities have ‘allowed’ companies to violate the spirit — and often the letter — of the law with ‘bogus recruitment efforts’ that are clearly designed to keep Americans off the payroll.

Please provide proof.
They must have something on him...
There’s no fix to the HIB’S until you fix the Company heads “Abuse” of them...
Ted Cruz has addressed this time and again.....the problem isn’t the visas....it’s companies not following the laws established to hire American workers first by tactical loopholes they use to sidestep the law.....
I’m not way off base. I’ve been consulting in IT since the 90’s and working in IT well before then. My experience in the commercial and DOD sector shows piss-poor US college production into the tech sector compared to say, India. You aren’t going to find much in the way of “Womyns-Studies” in India.
If you have worked in IT as a consultant, you would be well aware that there is no compensation difference based on visa or no-visa, unless the company pays the frieght to bring the H1B on-board, in which case point the total cost to the organization is either a wash or a bit *more*. They are most certainly *not* cheap labor on the engagements I’ve worked. The compensation variables relate to skillset and project role.
“...The laws of supply and demand are for you not for the establishment...”
The “law of supply & demand” is not referred to as “law” for nothing. If you have a passable understanding of the “law of supply & demand”, you would understand that it affects both the goods & services producer and the goods & services consumer accordingly.
You are what I would call a pimp, nothing more. Go away.
Go Trump, gp!
“...That is like defending Hitler’s Holocaust ...”
Hyperbolic much?
