I am wrong headed? How? I don't have a problem with H-1B on a very limited basis and correctly. The current cap is 65,000 a year. Obama has doubled down by allowing the spouses of H-1B visa holders to work as well.

I see H-1B visas as a way to bring in highly skilled workers like the "Einstein" type person who can help this country. We wouldn't need H-1B visas if we had a merit based immigration system.

have a moratorium on all immigration for at least a generation. The melting pot is now a salad and we need to assimilate what we got now.

WTF are you talking about? First, we will never stop all immigration. Would you prevent Americans from marrying foreigners and bringing them to the US under a spousal visa? During the period 1925-65, we averaged 190,000 legal immigrants a year. We could revert back to that or some other level, which could be adjusted annually based on our needs. Right now Americans are losing jobs to immigrants and having their wages depressed.

Yes, we need to drastically reduce legal immigration from the current 1.1 million a year (1.24 million in 2015.) Since 1990 we have had 30 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS enter this country along with 640,000 guest workers annually. Immigration to America is a privilege, not a right.

Nobody controls the H-1B program. Many threads have been posted with direct testimony showing that the sole purpose is to displace US It workers. You have an agenda it is clear. There are maybe 3 “Einsteins” on the whole planet, my guess they are in the USA. You age part of the gloBULList cabal that I despise. And I despise your beloved Cruz too, he wants to quadruple down on traitorous destructive behavior..
