I want to call Senator Rubio out on his H-1b visa bill

I am quite confused by our government support of foreign workers over Americans educated in taxpayer funded American colleges.  It just doesn't make sense.

Taxpayers fund the colleges that we send our children too:

Taxpayer Subsidies for Most Colleges and Universities Average Between $8,000 to More than $100,000 for Each Bachelor's Degree, New Study Finds

Then the government cashes in on student debt.  They make a huge profit from the students that are taking jobs that have nothing to do with their education. Drowning in student debt they struggle to pay back loans because they can't find work.  Corporate America says they aren't worth employing because their education isn't good enough:

Government books $41.3 billion in student loan profits

Then you have Marco Rubio and Microsoft pressing for infinite H-1b visa's to quash any hopes young Americans may have of using their expensive educations.

Pandering is nothing new with the `rats or the `pubs. M$ should hire back the thousands they have laid off rather than employ foreigners.

I honestly don't have an Issue with H1B visa', at least they're going through the process legally, bringing their own support system with them as well as wealth and a skill other than voting Dim.
Point is, there was a time that all those entering the country followed H1B requirements.

In truth, what Rubio is saying, is no different than what he's supported all along, an organized open border system.
This is just three card Monte from the Gang of Eight, sleight of hand.
What they've been proposing all along, a revamped H1B visa, they'll just lower the standards, allowing everyone that wants to come across the border to meet the new H1B directives, breathing or bleeding will suffice.

In some cases:
You send a fool to school and end up with an educated fool.

I thought Rubio voted against the Immigration bill back in 2013.

The H1B visa expansion bill didn't get passed the house.

I think this is the problem in America.  We are so divided.  Politics are all run and decided by big business.  Americans have a hard time being represented because there is such a ignorance about what matters to Americans.  The shift began in the late 1980's and is continuing more and more every year.  The value of American workers and families is so little to politicians.  Outsourcing, downsizing.  H-1b all designed to put American families out of work.  Sometimes I wonder what I am.  Democrat, Republican.  To me it really doesn't matter when I know that politicians are puffed up ignorant poops that only care about who will give them money.  To hell with the American family.  As long as they are receiving their government perks.  This is about my family.  It matters to me.  We aren't lazy people. 

The response is expected.  It still doesn't explain how the government can fund colleges that fail to provide workers for American companies.  Stamped with a big FAIL.

That is a good thing.

True. This is a dirty little secret many are not aware of.
Virtually since the GOP's inception, they have been the party of commerce, as time went by, Marxists made inroads into corporate America, changing the face of society through social change.
It wasn't until Klinton came onto the scene and stole away much of the GOP' support (corporations) that it became apparent that corporate America had taken over politics.

It's for this reason the GOP is freaking out over Conservatives/TEA, because we're a threat to their only lifeline, crony capitalism.
This was to be the year that would cinch their place in power because corporate America had written off the Marxist party because they saw the writing on the wall, that they'd lose influence backing a dead party.

So now the Base is a threat to their very way of life and it's freaking them the Hell out, that the entire game is coming to an end.
This election, truly is, the most important election in the last 100 years, our very future/existence, as a free nation, rests on our shoulders.

Someone is ruining our kids. The schools, parents?
A friend of mine called in an employee for their annual report card.
She told the young man that the only thing she saw was the kid would make several trips for supplies before starting a project. She said work smarter and not harder by just making one trip if possible.
He told her that he wanted her to fire him so he could hang out with his friends and collect unemployment..
The kid was heavily screened for the life time job and passed all the tests.
Our foreign workers never gave us any grief.

Really?  You should see the foreign workers at my company.  You will find them in the bathroom on their phones.

And we aren't talking about production workers on this thread.  We are talking about young Americans who invested in their futures.  Parents who invested in their children's futures only to be insulted by the government.  We pay for school and we pay for the politicians salary just to have them say our educated family members have no value.

Amen, I think that Cruz is going to be the candidate.  I was sickened by FOX news this morning talking about how people like Trump.  Most Americans don't have time to take polls.  They aren't reading political blogs.  They don't show up at political rallies.  Its so early so what the heck?  They do it every time.  I swear that they are going to push Hill and Don.  Both liberals.  Romney was liberal.  McCain was liberal.  We have the media choosing the looser they want already.

When I was in construction, we used a subcontractor who would only hire employees from one of the central American countries.  He said they were the best employees he every had.  He trained them to work the way he wanted and they always showed up and on time, and put out a good job.  He was a real stickler for neatness and perfection.

They were legal.  It was my job to be sure everyone had the proper licenses, insurances and used legal employees. 

I see the issue.  American's are lazy.  Are you all lazy too?

It seems all Americans should forget working and get on welfare.  That is all they are capable of doing.
