are we supposed to be upset that clinton, as do I, don't feel corporations are people ... I defend that ...
In the case of Citizens United, they're mainly small groups of greedy idiot megarich GOP CEOs...
More point the finger shit.
And true, dupe of GOP propaganda.
Hillary Clinton Supported H1B Visas. āBut if you look at the evidence, I think the figures are pretty impressive that I think it's like 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies have been started by
immigrants. I think obviously the role that immigrants in technology play as evidenced by your hands is just unparalleled. I think that we are hurting ourselves by failing to do comprehensive immigration reform. And I know politically it's difficult because there are a lot of people in public office who hear only the loud voices that are on the negative side, and oftentimes it is out of a place of fear, not a place of understanding or as I'd say evidence. So I think that what we've got to do is keep making the case, but we need more voices. And the only point I would make for the tech community is on the H1B visas, I support them. When I was a Senator from New York I supported them.ā [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Nexenta, 8/28/14]
Hillary Clinton Said It Was āEssential to Keep Focused On the Visa Issueā When H1B Visas Were Brought Up. āPHIL FERNANDEZ: Thank you [ā¦] 40 CEOs said like to a person, H1B, you know, we need more H1Bs. HILLARY CLINTON: Right. [ā¦] So let me just make three quick points. One, I think it's essential to keep focused on the visa issue, because that's a discrete problem that
even though I'd like to see it be part of an overall, comprehensive reform, you have to keep pushing to open the aperture, you know, get more and more opportunities.ā [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Marketo, 4/8/14]
Calling For More H-1B Visas, Clinton Noted āWe Educate People In Our Institutions, And Then We Don't Let Them Stay.ā āPRESIDENT JACKSON: Thank you. You know, at SHRM, as HR professionals, we are actively engaged in this debate over comprehensive immigration reform. We see reform as a way to address the projected skills gap that we see in the U.S. Now, your voting record in the Senate indicates a strong support for expanding the H-1B Guest Worker Visa Program. What are your thoughts on the immigration reform debate, and where do you think it's headed? MS. HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I hope it's heading toward a new law that will resolve a lot of these hard issues about comprehensive immigration reform. I'm very hopeful that the debate now going on in the Senate that they'll reach a bipartisan agreement, pass a bill and then send it to the House to consider it, and hopefully, the House will pass a comparable bill and then we can work out the differences. It's way overdue. I mean, if you look at what the core of the debate is, yes, we need to make sure we have border security. That's not only about immigration. That's about terrorism, criminal activities, trafficking drugs, people, guns. I mean, there's many reasons to have effective border security in addition to the immigration reasons. We have to do more to bring people out of the shadows, hold employers accountable if they continue to employ people that they know are illegal and put people who are willing to pay their dues literally and figuratively in line for legal status. So I think the bill that the four Republicans and four Democrats came up with has the core principles that we need to enact. I'm sure there will be a lot of variations on amendments, but if the core stays the same, I
think that's important. Now, specifically about H-1B visas, you know, we give so many more student visas than we give H-1B visas. We educate people in our institutions, and then we don't let them stay in our country and work for you and work on behalf of improving our productivity and dealing with our problems. So I know you have advocated strongly for a lot of these reforms. I support what you're trying to do because I think our economic recovery is to some extent fueled by a steady stream of well-qualified, productive workers coming out of our own institutions, native born, legally here and those who have something to contribute who are going to help us continue to grow our economy.ā [Hillary Clinton remarks at SHRRM Chicago, 6/15/13]
Hillary Clinton: āI'm Kind Of Far Removedā From The Struggles Of The Middle Class āBecause The Life I've Lived And The Economic, You Know, Fortunes That My Husband And I Now Enjoy.ā āAnd I am not taking a position on any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of anxiety and even anger in the country over the feeling that the game is rigged. And I never had that feeling when I was growing up. Never. I mean, were there really rich people, of course there were. My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn't believe
in mortgages. So I lived that. And now, obviously, I'm kind of far removed because the life I've lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven't forgotten it.ā [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Goldman-Black Rock, 2/4/14]
