there is a relative shortage of U.S. workers with STEM skills.

Yes, RELATIVE - in other words, this could equally well mean there's a labor oversupply in the other fields.

the problem is especially acute in certain metropolitan areas

So rather than employers in those areas sweetening the pot for relocation from the next state, we should import Third World standards of living from halfway around the world?

RE :”So rather than employers in those areas sweetening the pot for relocation from the next state, we should import Third World standards of living from halfway around the world”

Ironically one of these ‘Third World standards of living’ is two parent opposite sex married parent families, like the type that Americans believed in when I was kid.

And ones with a work and success ethic that drive their kids to get the top of class grades.

Unfortunately in a generation or two America culture will ruin them too.

Young Americans are really good at texting, watching entertainment shows and who won the Grammies, and what Kim Kardashian is up to.

First, you appear to be missing the point that Cruz is not PROPOSING anything. This amendment was offered over 2 years ago and was killed in the Senate by Harry Reid.

So, it’s dead. It no longer exists. It was a prior Congress.

Therefore, there is no such proposal.

Second, the amendments itself was DESIGNED to be a killer amendment attached to the comprehensive immigration bill loved by democrats and a fair number of rinos.

1. They absolutely FORBADE any illegal alien receiving any variety of pathway to citizenship. No exceptions. Do you agree with that?

2. They supported ONLY legal immigration or legal status. However, they controlled even legal immigration. (a) Business immigrants had to had a million dollars to start up their business, (b) research immigrants had to ALREADY be in positions in universities or businesses here in the US. (c) Tech immigrants were allowable ONLY if the Bureau of Labor certified a SHORTAGE in their field.

Now, you tell me.

Why did HARRY REID want to kill Cruz’s amendments?
