Executive Action amnesty in the DHS spending bill is the issue? Gee, look who in Michigan mocks that, and has many Rea$on$ to. C’mon, folks. None of this is anything new. Sure, it’s nice to hear Rep. Issa’s lofty platitudes he talks but, “they’re the jobs that are sometimes undermined by companies just trying to shave the edges”? What utter nonsense. Remember, Buy ‘Merican!, right? Everyone with an above room temperature IQ understands the game while others parrot the *bipartisan* line. Matter of fact, one of the biggest H1-B lies is the 65,000 cap needs to be expanded when foreign nationals with a Master’s degree or higher is exempt, as well is the O-1 visa = unlimited.
So, the next big budget question…
Why the Hell would we want to Increase Subsidy to Obamnesty, DREAMers and Foreign Students?

I quote from Governor Snyder’s MEDC shell agency: “more than 50% of PhDs and sometimes as much as 40% of master’s degrees in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) are awarded each year in the U.S. to international students.”
Yep, there you have it. We’ve seen Slick Rick’s propaganda before but, it’s a smokescreen for more Corporate Welfare and those now, the underemployed.
It’s the essence of every P3 project.

One of the reasons that I stayed with driving is that it is one of the few jobs that cannot be outsourced.
Oh sure, there are attempts to get around this (and with the sampling methodology they are using...after a few well-documented inevitable accidents, I see eventually blowing up in their collective faces):

Inspection and safety issues aside, I'm not seeing very many of them sticking around when you have to contend with temperatures in the negative numbers (not counting wind chill) along with the level of snowfall they we've been receiving from the "human induced climate change" as of late.
OABTW, wasn't the guv adamant that there were no savings to be found anywhere in the state budget?
So where did over $32-million just "magically" appear from?
Perhaps, you haven't seen the memo, KG? Trades jobs cannot be outsourced? It's happening now: http://www.vdare.com/posts/war-on-american-workers-north-dakota-skilled-workers-to-be-replaced-next
As for your exit question, well, much like his quisling counterpart in the Oval Office, the CPA Nerd has a pen and a phone, right?
EPI analysis finds no shortage of STEM workers in the United States | Economic Policy Institute. has found in a 2013 study that there are two STEM graduates in the U.S. for each STEM job. The H1-B visa expansion movement is an attempt to drive down STEM worker's salaries to the benefit of their left wing, Silicon Valley masters. One of the key reasons they donate so much money to the Democrats. Full EPI study here, along with the presentation slides in .pdf format:

Sen. Sessions lays it out pretty clearly in the video below. H1-B workers is another word for Corporate Welfare. Frankly, the old paradigm argument of it being money thrown a Democrats just does not hold water in my view any longer. Sure, Barack the dog eater Obama happens to be in the White House at the moment but, put this phony fat bastard, or this fat bastard, or li'l bro "act of love" amnesty Jeb, or Scott "pathway to citizenship via H1-B" Walker, why Hell, even put JenniRick Nerdholm in Barry's position, and try to convince me otherwise it's purely a Democratic Party problem.
