Cruz supported bringing another 325,000 H-1B foreign tech workers into the US. Don’t expect his help in this matter.
I believe the correct answer is that Cruz believed the propaganda of the tech industry, that we were importing geniuses to remedy a desperate shortage of skilled workers.
Once he found out what is really going on, he changed his position. It is easy enough for guys in the tech industry, who work with this all the time, to say that ‘everybody knows what they’re really doing’. But members of Congress are isolated in Washington, and depend on someone else bringing the facts to their attention.
***** Yeah didn’t he previously support a 500% increase in H1B Visas? *****
Yes, he did. What a phony.
Speak for yourself.
I’m from Texas. I am sorry I thought he was a conservative, and voted for him in the Primary and General.
Yeah you really believe that or do you think it’s election inconvenience?
It’s just like Cruz’s position on the TPP. He was for it before he was against it. However, he still voted for the TPA after he said he was against the TPP. Why would he do that unless he wanted the TPP to pass.
The entire purpose of the TPA (the fast track) is to bypass the U.S. Constitution threshold of a 2/3 vote for Treaties to 51% and to limit debate time to 20 hours.
The only purpose of the TPA was so that the TPP would pass. Guys like Cruz that wanted to pass the TPP, but could not vote for it because they would be in trouble.
So what Cruz did s vote for the TPA LOWERING the Constitutional standards to pass a Treaty through congress. That way Cruz can against the TPP knowing it will pass since Cruz voted to lowerethe Constitution threshold to pass a Treaty.
It’s dirty Washington politics as usual.
They can’t have civil discussions because Ted is rather inexperienced in matters other than law. He’s a great lawyer and would make an superb judge, but has limited experience in business, economics, and other non-lawyer areas. When you can’t stand on up for own candidate based on his accomplishments, you attack others. I think that psychologists call it deflection. It’s either that or idolatry.
Yep. Cruz supported 500% increase in HB1 Visa’s
until Trump entered the race.
Actually they may have broken the law which states any H1-B visas will not displace American workers. All the glorious Happy Valley computer folks in Ca. have broken this law for years and nothing has happened.
This is the law Cruz is talking about when he talks of prosecutions. He had been for the H1-B program if it was used as written but when he found out about the Disney abuse he abruptly changed and is totally against it.
Because we’re sick to death of you all polluting every damn thread with the same trash you’ve already said 85,000 times
That's a matter for the outsourcing company and not Disney. Disney outsourced their IT functions and fired their people and aren't replacing them, with H-1Bs or anyone else. The outsourcing company no doubt can show they really, really tried to find U.S. workers but alas, they had to look overseas for ones with the right skill set.
This is the law Cruz is talking about when he talks of prosecutions. He had been for the H1-B program if it was used as written but when he found out about the Disney abuse he abruptly changed and is totally against it.
The law, as written, is full of loopholes and corporations know where they all are. It needs to be scrapped and re-written. As it now stands, there are no grounds to prosecute anyone over this.
This is impossible because Trumpians said ...
I guess by experience you mean like donnie and his hiring illegals, a proven fact.
We will find out I guess when Cruz is elected.
Of course, we already know donnie has used illegals several times throughout his construction career, so he must not know the law exists.
We know he's advocated for a 500% increase in the recent past. We know the majority of his PAC donors support unlimited H-1B.
And we know Ted now says the program needs to be cleaned up.
The reality is that it needs to be eliminated.
But I guess arguing in front of a judge gives you the same knowledge base. Silly me.
So I should let the headlines stand even when they’re wrong? I post the same things only when the same lies show up in the headlines or thread. I cannot in good conscience let that stuff stay out there with no rebuttal.
yep
If that’s your standard then where are all your comments castigating his royal highness trump? Because he’s as full of crap as a Christmas goose.
Oh yeah, there aren’t any of those. Instead you glom onto every Cruz thread and post your snarky little one or two liners. We get it. You don’t like Cruz. I wish you and the rest of your ilk would save us all the pain of reading your same BS on every thread. You’re all one trick ponies and it has gotten exceedingly old.
Such anger, such hatred. Uncalled for I assure you. I’m not the enemy, Trump’s not the enemy, and Cruz is not the enemy.
Hillary or Bloomberg whoever is the enemy.
However you can’t keep me from stating my opinion by attacking me so take a breath.
