The first two Republicans to declare their presidential ambitions—Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky—will most likely battle each other for a limited pool of funds donated by true-red conservatives.

H-1b’s overstay their visas and work just like other illegals. They come from a culture of large central government. H-1B’s suppress salaries and opportunities. Most are pretty mediocre but CHEAP. They serve as a conduit enabling off shoring IT to workers who are even CHEAPER.
But very large compared to the unemployed in IT. H-1B overstaysmake up an increasing large number
