CBS Republican Debate: Live Coverage
The candidates are discussing immigration through the lens of who should be deported. But there’s another issue on the table — H-1B visas for skilled workers. And there, the differences between candidates are possibly more profound. Rubio and Cruz both favor expanding the number of H-1B visas, while Trump wants to raise the wages for these workers, bringing their salaries more in line with domestic skilled workers, such as computer coders, and presumably pushing companies to hire more domestic workers.
Bush — because unlike Rubio he hasn’t abandoned his original comprehensive immigration reform position. Trump is what he is. Cruz is further right than Rubio. Kasich? I don’t know … maybe. Carson is never becoming president, so there’s that.
What Republican left in this race is most likely to sign comprehensive immigration reform legislation?
