Bernie Sanders, Presidential Candidate and H-1B Skeptic

Presto Vivace writes: The H-1B visa issue rarely surfaces during presidential races, and that's what makes the entrance by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) into the 2016 presidential race so interesting. ... ...Sanders is very skeptical of the H-1B program, and has lambasted tech firms for hiring visa workers at the same time they're cutting staff. He's especially critical of the visa's use in offshore outsourcing.

    I think a socialist is exactly what this country needs. Hell, I'd settle for a moderate-left candidate (by the rest of the world's standards, not the USA's). If all we have on offer is right wing (conventional dem) and scary, extreme fascist right wing (repub/teagagger party) there isn't really anything to move the country forward.
