U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent.

Can you say "scam"?
I knew you could.

What I don’t understand is, the two callers both said they’re being “made” to train their replacements?

Nobody could make me train my replacement, or more likely, if I did, none of what I “taught” them would actually work...

Damned Americans think they are in a union or something.

This proves unequivocally that the claim that there is a labor shortage of high tech workers is a lie....and that the subsequent need for H1B visa workers is also a lie.

If there is a shortage of workers, why would you lay off qualified employees who are currently doing those high tech jobs adequately?

[sten]

because they train the H1b and ship them home to be paid $500/mon for the work

there is no tax incentive that can save US corporations more then they save by off-shoring the labor cost.

Rush was being intentionally obtuse here, he did understand what this guy was saying, but didn’t want to truthfully address the statement. I am about done listening to him. He is becoming irrelevant as far as I am concerned, it is just blather blather for three hours.

I cannot reveal my corporation, but it is a fortune 500 tech company with close to 90 billion in revenue.

Over the last decade, particularly the last five years, they have laid off thousands of American workers all the while bringing in Indian/Chinese H1B visa workers and or contractors.

It’s pretty sad.

H1B bump for later...
