You guys never give up on this FALSE claim do you ..??
The H1B Visa has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION.
Please stop trying to make them partners.
The H1B Visa is simply for use by a company to import people with advanced degrees, in order to help a company enhance its productivity and earning power. [Cruz sees this Visa as a way to get our country back up and running; since colleges are not turning out as many advanced degree people with the degrees WE NEED to get back in business; producing products.]
H1B Visa’s are expensive - they are paid for by the company wanting the H1B person. The Govt does not pay for these people. The H1B visa has an expiration .. and the company is required to renew the visa and pay another fee, or the person MUST return home.
When are people going to get it. THIS ACTION IS NOT ABOUT IMMIGRATION. These people do not always stay. Some of them, especially those who are single will usually return to their home country in order to marry and have a family.
People need to stop spreading false stories about H1B Visas.
Displaced U.S. workers who were pushed out of their jobs by immigrant replacements are suing the Department of Homeland Security over a new rule that would allow the spouses of guest workers to enter the job market.
“The larger implication is that Obama is arguing he has the executive authority to allow anyone to work in the United States,” “[He] started with the children, then the parents, and now the spouses of H-1B workers.”
DHS on May 26 will begin accepting applications to grant employment-eligible status to spouses of immigrants with H-1 visas,... Previously, immediate family members were granted an H-4 visa, which allowed them to stay in the country but banned them from gaining lawful employment. The new H-4 rule will add as many as 179,600 new foreign workers in the first year and 55,000 annually in subsequent years, according to DHS.
"the country has more than twice as many workers with STEM degrees as there are STEM jobs. Also consistent with other research, we find only modest levels of wage growth for such workers for more than a decade. Both employment and wage data indicate there is no shortage of STEM workers in the United States." - http://cis.org/no-stem-shortage
Enhanced earning power = paying below the prevailing wage.
Liar.
