Ted Cruz Wants Minimum H-1B Wage of $110,000 (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has morphed from a vocal supporter of the H-1B program to a leading critic of it. He has done so in a new H-1B reform bill (PDF) that sets a minimum wage of $110,000 for H-1B workers. By raising the cost of temporary visa workers, Cruz is hoping to discourage their use. Cruz also wants to eliminate Optional Practical Training Program (OPT). The co-sponsor of this bill, The American Jobs First Act of 2015, is U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who called the OPT program "a backdoor method for replacing American workers."
I still say Ted Cruz is actually Al Lewis from The Munsters.
It's bad enough that you give my job to some foreign worker, but now your going to pay them twice as much as you were paying me?
You SUCK!
Libertarians don't call for government enforcement of minimum compensation stipulations, especially not for specific priviledged groups over others.
Didn't Trump say he was going to fire any CEO of a company that hires H1-B workers... maybe not... but sounds like something he'd say...
"Sometimes things change."
Yes, but not politicians.
Sure they do. They flip-flop all the time!
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
Changed.....he is now the second-most annoying presidential candidate.

Unfortunately, another candidate has arisen who is more arrogant and insufferable. I didn't think it could happen.
Yeah, who would've thought we'd have another Clinton in the ring.

There is another candidate that Trumps both Clinton and and Cruz on arrogance and insufferability!
