I am absolutely in favor of H-2A visas and I neither love nor hate the H-1A and H-1B visa programs. I think every possible attempt needs to be made to fill positions with American workers before a H-1A or H-1B visa is issued and I don’t think that a person working here is entitled to citizenship and the franchise simply because they were allowed to work here. Anyone overstaying their visa is here illegaly and needs to be sent home.
I agree with you completely on that post.
Both Trump and Cruz were for H1B-visas with the same idea that they come here to our colleges to get educated, and then they go back to their countries to compete against us. We should let them work here and help our companies.
And I know that Cruz, and perhaps Trump too, have said they need to make sure that there are no American’s that those companies can hire that have the same qualifications. And that the foreign workers need to have same pay. So as to avoid the hire cheap and replace expensive Americans.
Trump jumped ship on these ideas first due to his own rhetoric and voter’s desires. Cruz has tempered his as well after seeing what happened with Disney. I know Cruz also mentioned some study that showed the h1-b folks starting companies and hiring Americans, and being big job creators. Others have said that study may not be all that accurate.
