When a politician speaks up for securing the border, and trying to stop illegal immigration, they usually try to take the sting out of it by pointing out that they favor expanding *legal* immigration. The idea being that they aren’t anti-immigrant, just anti-illegal-immigrant.
So I have tended to view Cruz’s call for expanding H1B in that light.
So, if we’re talking about a 10% increase, thats understandable though wrong-headed. If we’re talking about increasing by several hundred percent, thats a whole ‘nother thing.
Because I like Cruz I’ve tended to overlook the H1B issue, although in actual fact when we are already at more than a million legal immigrants per year, I’m not sure why we need to be increasing that number, particularly when the work force is shrinking. Because I am currently annoyed with all Washington politicians over the TPP business and its immigration clauses, I am especially sensitive to this.
We are already bringing in a million legal immigrants per year. If that isn’t sufficient, how many is enough? How do our politicians arrive at that number? How do they justify it with so many people out of work?

Guess who sends us the most legal immigrants--- MEXICO ---at 450,000 per year last time I looked. And many of those legal Mexicans are not too educated and do not speak English. They get here via family reunification. They sure don't get here due to skills they have. So Mexico floods us with illegal immigrants and then hogs most of the yearly legal immigration quotas too. And then these maggots turn around and call us racist because we don't have our Mexican border 100% open
