“The only reason we needed them was because of the dumbed-down education that liberals have imposed on American kids. Fix that and we’ll rarely, if ever, need foreign workers.”
I agree 100%. I’m just arguing from the point of view that H1B visas exist and I’d like to know how the 4 year rule came about. If the conversation could become a debate about the 4 year rule, I think the whole H1B visa thing would implode since it is clearly a way to legally import people and pay them slave wages to keep cesspools like Twitter and Facebook up and running.
“Then do not vote for Ted Cruz. He wants to increase H1-B visa’s five times.”
This is one thing that scares me about Cruz. Importing labor and not allowing that labor to compete for higher wages outside of their host company for 4 years is a disgusting travesty ... almost socialistic mind you.
I would hope that Cruz would have intentions to overhaul the H1B visa program, but I gave up thinking that a politician would do something good for the United States at large sometime around 2006.
Hopefully he makes me look like an ass ... I like him otherwise.
What Disney did is illegal by the letter of the law that allowed H1-B visas. But what does it matter when the government is in collusion with big business, and they would effectively have to prosecute their biggest contributors.
Perfect example of what happens when big business and big government collude to put Americans out of business.
Does anyone know a word for this? "Fascism" is where government controls private business. "Communism" is where all business IS government. Maybe that's it, at least a new form of Communism.

The problem with Ted Cruz is not Ted Cruz. Because Cruz is a very good conservative.
The real problem with Cruz is, like all other candidates, he can not stay in the race without his rich donors.
The rich donors make bigger profits with the cheap labor express. And they control Cruz. If Cruz was a self financed multi-Billionaire candidate, he would be 500% better than any others running.
But sadly, Cruz is no different than others. He will keep pushing the cheap labor express as demanded by his rich benefactors.
I am sure there are some legitimate uses of the H1B visa.
The key problem is that it is structured to serve employers not people seeking to immigrate to work here, and to compete head to head with people already here, at the average wages their job peers here can command even when their are a lot of job vacancies looking for workers.
No, a big junk of the H1B is to serve employers just so they can bring in the “special” foreign people they have hand picked ahead of time. And far, far too often the excuse that they are people who will do work “no one else” could be found to do is just that, an un-investigated excuse. Then the foreigner is often at the mercy of the H1b employer - they can keep working for that employer or go home, because they cannot leave to work for some other employer here, unless (a) granted the O.K. by their H1b employer and (b) the new employer is able to help them get a work visa. That usually only happens after years of being stuck with the H1b employer, and often at wages below what they could get on the open market here.

How about ditch the whole damn program, really who cares, it is not the governments responsibility to help corporations hire foreigners.
