'Next, we need to do away with the cap on H-1B visas, which is arbitrary and results in U.S. companies struggling to find the high-skill workers they need to continue growing. We already know that most of the applications for these visas are for computer programmers and engineers, where there is a shortage of qualified American candidates. But we are held back by the objections of the richly funded labor unions that mistakenly believe that if we keep innovation out of America, somehow nothing will change. They are wrong, and frankly as much to blame for our stalemate on this issue as nativists who scream about amnesty. '
Keep repeating the lie long enough.....
The wall st. crowd is really leaning hard on their politician buddies to ram this immigration (amnesty) reform through.
Just who would be this royal "our" Mr. Murdoch?
“Maybe, as someone who came here as an immigrant, I have more faith in the compassion and fortitude of the American people, and in their ability to reject extreme views on either side of the political spectrum. Or maybe, as a businessman, I have learned that there is rarely a good time to do the hard things.”
Mr. Murdoch, I’m guessing you were respectful enough not to insult the American people by coming here illegally, and you didn’t have children on our dime.
I believe there is always a good time to do the right thing, even if it’s hard. We have this illegal alien problem because no one wanted to do the right thing. No one wanted to be called “mean” by doing what was right. Illegal aliens do not do the jobs Americans won’t do, they do jobs Americans on Welfare should be doing. We have government housing projects full of low skill labor. We don’t need to bring in poor people from other countries to do low skill jobs. We need people who are willing to do the hard thing, by ending Welfare and sending the illegal aliens home.
In 2012, immigrants sent 120 billion dollars to their home countries. That’s money that should have been spent here on goods and services to create jobs for Americans. But no, people like you want to give amnesty, and even bring more immigrants here who will send more money out of our economy.
Mr. Murdoch, as someone who was allowed to come here and take advantage of what I and my forefathers created, I don’t really appreciate you trying to change my country into another third world cesspool. I realize it’s great for you. You’ll have plenty of Hispanics to take care of your lawns and gardens. But for middle class America, it will only create more poverty, pollution, over crowded schools, and increase our taxes.
Good-by Fox.
I am tired of foreigners telling us what American needs to do.
Deport Rupert Murdoch. He’s an undesirable. And while we’re at it deport Paul Gigot as well.
