That’s the way I see it also.
I am not a happy camper at all about Cruz’ comments concerning H-1B visas either.
The one thing I’ll say about it, is he is honest about what his view is. He’s not lying to me about it.
That doesn’t make me forget the terrible idea of bringing more H-1Bs to the U. S. when we have tens of millions of U. S. Citizens out of work.
I swear there has got to be something in the water, that these folks can’t grasp the finer issues.
I’m not opposed to the H-1B visa program in the altruistic sense. It’s a golden key opportunity for a non-citizen IF you have the skill sets required and IF there is a labor shortage for those same skills. The problem is that cheap labor business lobbies flashing cash and working with the political class picking winners and losers in the private sector for political favors to short circuit the system, undermine the program and simultaneously short change Americans with those same skills looking for work. It’s a vicious cycle and particularly damaging in a bad economy. If Cruz can define and manage H1Bs as originally intended while telling the corporate blood suckers to take a hike, I’m good with that.
He’s a typical politician willing to say whatever he has to to get votes.
