"Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions."
Spoken like a true member of the Ted the Messiah Cult. I cite you information, provide links, and take the time to repost your post so everyone can see both sides, and you respond with a ya something response. Pitiful.
Wow, you must not think too highly of Sessions. Letting himself be used by the likes of Trump. That's what the libs and media say about black conservatives, they're being used by the republicans. Your statement is about as true as that one. And personally, I don't think anybody has to worry about Senator Sessions being used or duped, he is probably smarter - and wiser - than 99% of the senate he belongs to.
From day one, Trump has said over and over, they have to leave the country, be vetted, and the good ones can come back in. So what's all the snark for? Got no good response or points to make?
Cruz is Reagan...Canadian style.
Trump is your messiah.
Trump is a real pro at that.
Sessions being used or duped, he is probably smarter - and wiser - than 99% of the senate he belongs to.
That puts him at just above average.

Trump's definition of "good ones" are the ones that make him money. Meanwhle, schools are full of multi-lingual classrooms. ERs are full of MediCal patients. So many anchor babies are being born that they have to put ten to a gurney. An American can't get a job in one of Trump's hotels with 10% unemployment because of the language barrier. Trump wants them back to become future Democrats and end conservatism, and therefore a Constitutional republic, forever. And you ask me 'what's the problem?' Really?
It's a numbers problem. Pure and simple. You are either delusional or a lying sack.
Did he break the law?
No more spamming, please.
Effectively, it's an amnesty with which to empower the Slave Party. So, I don't really care what Sessions says, other than what other people might think of it. To me, it's yet another tragic milestone in the destruction of the Republic and the destruction of private property rights for corporate benefit with it.
So true just like Luz and Amnestio have done nothing to secure the border, build a wall, renegotiate bad trade deals lower taxes or reduce the size of govt.
So are you suggesting Sessions was a big conservative until he supported Trump? Or are you implying Sessions is just a stupid conservative who allowed himself to be hoodwinked by Trump?
Trump takes flip flopping to a new level.
Bears repeating!
It’s why he nearly always attacks the Republicans in the race from the left. What’s disappointing is that many of his supporters are fine when Trump is using Democrat talking points to attack Republicans for doing, usually, what we conservatives want them to do. Just as Trump is unmoored from principles, many of his supporters are indifferent to those values or they are as unaware of them as he is.
Late to thread- but I believe the issue was MeGYN conflated the issue of H1B and high skilled workers. Probably a deliberate obfuscation.
I went back and checked the remarks for both debates. The HB1-Visa issue was conflated.
Trump has not stated that he wanted more HB-1 visas, Trump has stood for applying the HB-1 Visa law. The problem with the HB-1 Visa program currently, is that it is being used ILLEGALLY. People need to read the law to understand that what Disney did to its workers was ILLEGAL.
Trump, God love him, is a terrible debater who does not have any debate tactics. He fears to make the questioner clarify, a bad mistake. Ted Cruz would have used his debating skills to ask Megan Kelly to repeat what he had said in the earlier debate, rather than accepting Megan’s premise, “You spoke enthusiastically in favor of these visas”.
Compare the transcripts below. Trump is not a great debater. If he does not remember what he said, he should make the questioner detail his remarks. I do not believe Trump to be dishonest.
Here is the transcript from Michigan Debate last Thursday:
Mr. Trump, your campaign website to this day argues that more visas for highly skilled workers would, quote, “decimate American workers”. However, at the CNBC debate, you spoke enthusiastically in favor of these visas. So, which is it?
TRUMP: I’m changing. I’m changing. We need highly skilled people in this country, and if we can’t do it, we’ll get them in. But, and we do need in Silicon Valley, we absolutely have to have.
So, we do need highly skilled, and one of the biggest problems we have is people go to the best colleges. They’ll go to Harvard, they’ll go to Stanford, they’ll go to Wharton, as soon as they’re finished they’ll get shoved out. They want to stay in this country. They want to stay here desperately, they’re not able to stay here. For that purpose, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brain power in this country.
Here is the contezt of the original quote at the CNBC debate in Boulder:
Mr. Trump, I want to go back to an issue that we were talking about before, the H-1B visas. I found where I read that before. It was from the donaldjtrump.com website and it says — it says that again, Mark Zuckerburg’s personal senator, Marco Rubio has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Are you in favor of H-1Bs or are you opposed to them?
TRUMP: I’m in favor of people coming into this country legally. And you know what? They can have it anyway you want. You can call it visas, you can call it work permits, you can call it anything you want. I’ve created tens of thousands of jobs, and in all due respect — and actually some of these folks I really like a lot — but I’m the only one that can say that. I have created tens of thousands of jobs, and I’ll be creating many millions of jobs if I’m given — if I’m given the opportunity to be president.
As far as Mark is concerned, as far as the visas are concerned, if we need people, they have — it’s fine. They have to come into this country legally. We have a country of borders. We have a country of laws. We have to obey the laws. It’s fine if they come in, but they have to come in legally.
