Remember Cruz is running for Pres. so give him the latitude he needs to win this...I have a feeling once he can do something about the borders and immigration crisis...he’s going to have a balance which is knowing ‘who’ is coming here.....H1B requires background checks.
I already determined that Cruz has to also attract the middle in this race......and that means he will need to show some degree of compromise to get the big stuff he’s going to go after once he’s in.
As for job security...there isn’t any such thing today and we all know that. So “comfort” as you mentioned isn’t going to be there regardless.
Exactly. What’s he supposed to say: no illegal OR legal immigration? That sounds xenophobic. Besides, we WANT to make a distinction between illegal and legal immigration.
You can argue about whether we need H1 visas in the abstract. In reality, it’s a political decision and one that is tied to illegal immigration at that.
I agree Sen. Cruz needs latitude on this point. Hell, I agree with him on this point: not that we need more H1 visas per se. I agree that we should go out of our way to make a distinction that our argument is in favor of the rule of law and is not anti-immigrant.
We are a nation of immigrants. I’m NOT anti-immigrant. I can live with picking and choosing educated legal immigrants as a counter to standing up against illegal immigration.
See the post(#15) immediately before yours. It really puts into perspective the truth vs. the propaganda being posted by “make no mistake”
