Intel lays off 12,000 after importing 14,523 foreigners

Peri argues, with strong evidence, that there are more native-born skilled craftspeople working today, not fewer, because of all those undocumented construction workers.

Like your uncle finishing sheet rock, who you blame for not being able to come up with the money to retrain himself in a different profession, since his has been taken over by cheap foreign labor? Foreigners want to come to America to achieve a better life for themselves, which is understandable. Big business owners want to bring them in because it helps their bottom line as well. The only problem is that in a democracy a lot of voters possess the common sense that this is very bad news for their standard of living. So big money pays people to come up with these idiotic statistics to try to get the middle class to embrace their own demise. For the most part, they're succeeding.

Not really. If they have legal standing not dependent on a particular employer they then have more equal standing with native citizens and can then look for jobs that pay better. People generally don't work for much less if they don't have to. They pay taxes and live in the country increasing the economy.

Cheap votes on the left and cheap labor on the right benefit the political and economic elite while the majority of people are brow beaten into accepting the loss for fear of being called racist.

Racism might not be labelled ones way if they were to post less racist comments.

I do think people being brought over need to have equal standing so they will demand more equal pay. Who do you think will make more money. A legal immigrant or an illegal one?

Well, the majority of the GOP Primary voters have been voting for Donald Trump over Jeb Bush, Rubio, and Kasich. But as a result of that, come during the 2016 general election, the Republicans are very likely going to lose badly to the Democrats with a surge of new Hispanic voters coming out to vote for the Democrats and Hillary.

It depends on what the law is and of course whether or not it's enforced.

From the original post,

For example, [Trump] has said he would reduce the inflow of H-1Bs by raising the minimum wage for H-1B workers,

What other presidential candidate would support something like that? Trump and Cruz are the only candidates with proAmerican immigration policies.

Neither Cruz or Trump are going to be the next President. Hillary is very likely going to be the next President.

And now there’s evidence that Latino voters may be “enthusiastic” to hit the polls in November to defeat Trump’s anti-immigrant, anti-Latino agenda.

A national poll released Thursday by America’s Voice and Latino Decisions found that 79 percent of voters had a “very unfavorable” opinion of Trump, with a total of 87 percent of Latinos finding him generally unfavorable. When asked about Trump’s policy plan to deport the country’s 11.3 million undocumented population, 80 percent of Latino voters indicated that they were “much less likely to vote for Trump,” with a total of 87 percent of voters less likely to vote for Trump generally.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), another Republican presidential candidate who endorses deporting the country’s undocumented population, followed behind with a 34 percent “very unfavorable” rating among Latino voters, with a total of 52 percent unfavorable rating. Even when voters were told that Cruz supports deporting the country’s undocumented population, 61 percent of Latino voters were “much less likely to vote for Cruz,” with a total of 74 percent of voters less likely to vote for him generally.

Donald Trump on Monday said Mitt Romney’s “maniacal” and “crazy” policy of “self-deportation,” alienated Asian and Hispanic voters and helped cost him the election.

“He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal,” Trump told the conservative website NewsMax. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote. He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”

I doubt he has ever wondered that. He wears that badge proudly on his sleeves.
