In some positions yes but not skilled DBAs responsible for the largest infrastructures in the US at the largest financial firms in the US. Once upon a time the building of homes was considered skilled labor. Sheet rock, roofing, siding, gutters etetcthose homes were built to last several generations with little issue. Now it is imported from Mexico inspected per “code” and lucky that a home lasts more than 60 years anymore. What was once a job a middle income earner could make a living at is now seen as “unskilled” There are many jobs now running this same course because Congress and our laws are falling more in line with corporate interests vs national best interests

I do stand corrected if that is the case and will allow someone the opportunity to change or adopt new positions. For me this isn’t flip flopping it is changing a fundamental view through words followed up by action. I’ll watch closely to see where he stands with this now.

Shame on me for not thoroughly noticing that

Many American kids are spending $100,000 plus for a 4 year education now. Cruz is hoping when they get out that all their jobs will be occupied.

It turns out that Cruz does not get it at all.

Wow!
So Cruz drank the kool-aid too?

Where is our Le Pen?

It’s going to take a woman to save this country since every worthless male politician is a hack and sell-out on the GOP.

Either that or this country will be destroyed. We’ve been on that path for decades now anyways.

Ted Cruz promoting legal and opposing illegal is not something to start blubbering about.

Do any of you out there understand that the flow of legal immigration can never be more than 1/1000th or less of the illegals?

It’s the difference between standing on one corner, and yelling “Free Stuff!” vs on the other corner yelling “Come stand in line to fill out these papers and take this test!”

Every anti Cruz post on here is suspect.

I have always liked Ted Cruz. But, I always had one reservation. I never liked his looks. Maybe now I have some justification for that feeling.

Yeah, like the 9-11 hijackers! I don’t see how anyone can possibly deny the over staying of visas is a huge part of the illegal immigration problem.

The one million legal immigrants a year are what are killing us and what destroyed America.

Massive, unending, mostly third world LEGAL immigration is why the GOP has lost its ability to elect a national ticked.

If you consider 40 million LEGAL third world immigrants a drop in the bucket since the 1965 immigration bill passed, you are obtuse, or have an agenda.

100% false.

Though we’re not destroyed yet, what is coming close to doing it is the media and public schools.

Not legal immigration.

Terrorism and illegal immigration are two separate problems each requiring their own solution.
