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.
...."We WANT to make a distinction between illegal and legal immigration"....
Definitions matter...Interesting you used the word 'distinctions' for in my walk with God I have learned well HE is a God of 'distinctions'. Once I fully grasped this so many questionable things became very clear. It's important to know that distinctions MATTER.
I'm not about to get hung up on anything I might not agree with regarding Cruz as he runs his race to the Presidency..... I had already fully checked him out when he did his filibuster as he was so engaging then, so I know where he stands.
So if he moves more toward the center during this race I have no problem with it...he needs to win this and we need him to win this!
Besides I'll take a trade off of educated and civil HI visa immigrants over these!
