Thread: Ted Cruz Hits The Big Apple

I'll have a piece explaining why Cruz isn't a winning candidate tomorrow. Here's Part I:

He wanted to know what Senator Cruz would do about those dastardly southern gun dealers who were flooding his community with illegal firearms, relying upon talking points derived from the thoroughly discredited Bloombergian campaign ascribing violent crimes in this city to legal, constitutionally protected businesses. Lest you think this an aberration, the next question, asked by a gay pizzeria owner, pertained to the recently enacted North Carolina law forbidding the use of certain restrooms by transgendered individuals. A law that, even using the loosest definition of that term, might impact a tenth of one percent of the population of that state-and very few registered Republicans.

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that this message-broadcast to the rest of the country-was deliberate. Much like the Jeb Bush plant of Internet acclaim, these individuals were carefully vetted by Good Morning America’s producers before being selected to appear on national television. Just as I was vetted before my question-dealing with the negative impact H-1B visas have upon American workers-was rejected. Regardless of whether you are in favor of open borders or support constructive immigration enforcement, the idea that this issue is inconsequential-especially to Republican primary voters-is hard to countenance. However, if you’re a member of the mainstream media, the boutique concerns of leftist members of the press corps must always take precedence over those of conservative Republican voters-even if you are hosting an ostensibly Republican campaign forum.

Pro gay, anti gun presentations but don't discuss how visa workers from india have a multitude of our IT jobs using the lie "have special skills" and other deceptions.

From FAIR.US:
FACT: Higher skilled workers are increasingly undermined by mass immigration and guest worker programs. Two-thirds of U.S. STEM graduates are working outside their fields of study. Moreover, wages for STEM degree holders have not kept pace with other college graduates in the U.S. economy.

Some 675,000 H-1B guest workers and L-1 visa holders (intra-company transfers) are employed in the U.S. These workers compete directly with skilled U.S. workers.

FACT: Employers can hire H-1B workers, even when American workers are available, or even lay-off U.S. workers in order to hire H-1B workers. There is a popular perception that companies can only hire H-1B guest workers if American workers are not available, and that they are barred from laying-off American workers and replacing them with foreign workers. These perceptions are false. Guest worker programs are riddled with loopholes written by business lobbyists that allow their clients to bring in foreign workers pretty much at will. Recent examples of companies laying off U.S. workers and forcing them to train their foreign replacements include Disney and Southern California Edison.
FACT: The Obama administration is blatantly abusing executive authority to make an end-run around statutorily mandated limits on foreign workers. In May 2015, the Obama administration began implementing a unilateral action to grant work authorization to spouses of H-1B guest workers. These spouses had been admitted on H-4 visas, having agreed to the terms that these visas allowed them to live in the U.S., but not seek employment here. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services estimates that the administration’s action will result in nearly 180,000 H-4 visa holders being granted work authorization during the first year, and some 55,000 spouses will be granted work permits in each subsequent year. This rule is being challenged in court by FAIR’s legal affiliate, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, on behalf of Save Jobs USA, a coalition of U.S. workers.
