Sen. Cruz Presents Measure to Strengthen, Improve Legal Immigration
Offers amendment to increase H-1B visas to help improve, retain high-skilled labor force
May 14, 2013

press@cruz.senate.gov / (202) 228-7561

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent. The measure would effectively address the needs of our nation’s high-skilled workforce by helping meet the growing demand for workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It will also make block grants available to states to promote STEM education efforts and increase domestic STEM professionals. The committee voted against the amendment 4 to 14 with every Democrat voting against it on a party-line vote.

"To the legions of Trumpbots, nothing he says or does will change their mind about him, so running an article that shows once again what a bald-faced hypocrite he is won't matter a whit."

Lol! See my tagline...

Read the source article. In detail.

The jobs are at a high price resort, the kind of place where everything isn’t just perfect, but glorious & exotic.
The jobs are for direct personal service, such as “banquet server”.
Now, comparing the article’s photos of someone who got the job vs someone who didn’t, and considering the position, it’s OBVIOUS why the depicted whiner didn’t, and the hiree did: the whiner has a mundane pout, and the hiree is one of the most beautiful and exotic women I’ve ever seen.

Remember, Trump runs elusive resorts, and ran the Miss America Competition. For some jobs he’s hiring for, “mundane and domestic” looks ARE a job criteria.

But no the NY Times had to make it sound like he was hiring for dishwasher and being anti American about it.
As for “but there’s suitable Americans willing to do those jobs”, supply and demand. Or maybe you want a veiled minimum wage?

DJT just wants cheap labor ... so this makes him different from the Chamber of Commerce how?

I’m guessing these people are here legally. I don’t remember Trump saying anything about not letting people come here legally, except for his proposed moratorium on Muslims.

Trump likes him his Polish illegal workers, that's fer sure.

Wait, I take that back - cuz they sued him for the rotten working conditions that almost got them killed, had them stripping live wires and not giving them proper tools.

And then he barely paid them.

Yeah, YUGE champion of foreign workers.

If anyone disagrees with me do a Youtube search for "Trump - What's the Deal?"

To the legions of Trumpbots, nothing he says or does will change their mind about him, so running an article that shows once again what a bald-faced hypocrite he is won't matter a whit.

Christ knows, Trump is not perfect and he may well turn out to be less than what is sold, but can anybody Honest-to-God say that he could be any worse than what America has suffered through these last (almost) eight years?

What gets me with all these hatchet jobs (as well as the CruzBots) is that they don't seem to realize that somebody wrapped in the flag of "pure conservativism" is just NOT going to get the vote.

I am not totally in the Trump camp, but I don't see anyone, anywhere, who is better, than CAN BEAT HILLARY (caps the key phrase).

"Except in this case, 300 Americans were ready and willing to work, but Trump chose to hire cheaper foreign labor."

How does anybody know what Trump will do as POTUS?

Screaming "Liar! Liar! Non-nee boo boo nobody likes you!" is how Trump avoids having to answer or be specific about anything.

This hopey- changey "I'm a very popular celebrty outsider who will fix everything.", (Ignore that I have past leftist tendencies, and have limited knowledge of the Constitution), routine has been done before- See Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura- How did they work out?

I pray people wake up.

“To the legions of Trumpbots, nothing he says or does will change their mind about him, so running an article that shows once again what a bald-faced hypocrite he is won’t matter a whit.”

Now that is a prime example of how you want to learn to write a persuasive essay. Nothing beats a loaded line of crap to really win someone over to your side.

It looks like Rubio wants to help by tripling the number of foreign workers!

Nah....nobody that supports Trump cares about his use of 200 illegal aliens to build Trump Towers and or how he then "stiffed them" of pay, resulting in a 20 year lawsuit.....and they don't care that The Donald prefers to hire lower waged Foreigners instead of Americans for his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.........or even that he had illegal aliens (Mexicans) working to build his hotel down from the White House just last year.

Nope.....all that they care about is Trump's "talk" about building a "great wall".........and how he's "the only one" who's going to protect us Americans from all the foreigners and illegals coming in to take our jobs. It's gonna be GREAT........... ROFL

My understanding is these H 1 workers are hired for the “season” ie the winter months when all the rich folks who are members of the club want to be there. Three months of the year. In other words, temporary workers. Hard to get good Americans for these jobs on a temp basis.
I did read a story about Trump wanting to make his long time butler the concierge of this place. The butler refused the job, saying he just wanted to be Trump’s butler for the rest of his life.
