PS Cruz in his proposal wanted NO CAP on H1B visas for China, Mexico and India.
The 500% number was when Cruz proposed an increase from 65,000 H1B visas to 325,000. THEN the Senate Judiciary approved 180,000. At THAT point Cruz proposed 500,000 additional H1B visas on top of that. Folks this isn’t lettuce pickers. These are the jobs college students are qualified for, and middle aged Americans booted out by their corporation to be replaced by Indians. (Then required to TRAIN the Indian or else lose their severance AND PENSION.)
