Any republican politician who rails against amnesty yet is pushing this H-1B crap while filling his campaign coffers with corporate cash is selling out American workers just the same.

Turns out Ted Cruz wants to raise the H-1B cap by 500%.

Ted needs to recant this position and get with the program, yesterday.

Far more important than H1B visas is getting regulation that are strangling businesses and sending jobs overseas out of the way. Ted is the man to do that.

One of the biggest detriment businesses currently have is Obamacare. Cruz is the only one vowing to repeal it.

The other biggie is the onerous EPA regulations that are so costly and unnecessary.

I’ll concede I’m not crazy about raising the H-1B caps by 500%, but who then would you suggest we support? The guy in Wisconsin who was actually FOR a path to citizenship (amnesty) and is now talking something about the American worker (no specifics of course)?

Most of the other candidates are either for amnesty or have been for it in the recent past. So tell me, who do YOU suggest I support?

The problem with the H-1B visa program is not that the number allowed is too high, but that employers who want to hire an H-1B visa holder are not forced to prove that the post cannot be filled with a qualified American.

I'd support increasing the number allowed provided there were strict conditions to prove the post could not be filled with a qualified American before an H-1B visa holder could be hired, and standing for U.S. citizens and permanent residents to sue if they were denied a job filled by an H-1B visa holder, or fired from a post to be replace with an H-1B visa holder.

Name me one consistent anti-amnesty candidate? Cruz is the only one.

If he’s planning on bringing back manufacturing, we’ll need high tech workers - our education system has ensured we won’t get them from this country.
