Is this Sharia law in the room with us now?

Yeah, it's coming from the GOP.

All hat, no cattle. These GOP “people” are the kind of people I kick out of Texas

Look, as much as I’m all for H-1B reform, since it’s the companies exploiting it, all elimination or crackdown of H-1Bs will do is increase offshoring. When jobs are offshored, nothing is spent in the US and hurts the economy more. At least with H-1Bs, they’re living in the US, which means money flowing into rent, groceries, and other services.
