I wasn't referring to the owner of Disney with my comment, I am sure there are plenty of people who own companies that are Democrat and Republican that are all for hiring work visa workers over Americans. I was simply stating this is an example of it, I assume none of the right wingers that are all for corporations to have low regulations and be able to do whatever they want with their business have a problem with a corporation hiring work visa workers.

Jeff Sessions isn't ok with it.

He actually spoke out about the Senate bill (sponsored by 3 R's and 3 D's).

Your own party is throwing American tech workers under the bus yet all we hear from the Dems are "..well right wingers....".

Don't complain to me, this is capitalism, Disney is just doing what is best for their company. All I am saying is this is an example of that. And by right wingers, I mean the right wingers on this site that are always crowing for less regulations and anti-unions.

Bipartisan Senate Bills Would Increase Visas and Green Cards for High-Tech Workers - WSJ
The first bill, introduced Tuesday by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah), Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) and four others, would increase the number of high-skilled visas available each year to as many as 195,000 from the current cap of 65,000 and otherwise allow for more legal immigration to the U.S. They call the measure the Immigration Innovation Act, or I-Squared Act.

A second measure, backed by Sens. Jerry Moran (R., Kan.), Mark Warner (D., Va.) and four others would create an “entrepreneur’s visa†to allow people who want to start companies to stay in the country. Both measures would create new visa or green-card opportunities for foreign students who graduate from U.S. schools with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math—something President Barack Obama supports as well.

Hardly whining here, I am actually for putting American workers first, though you can't say you haven't noticed that it is a common theme on this site from the right wingers that less regulations are good and unions are bad.

And you can betcha that most of these companies will be staffed with H1-B or offshore completely by the time that cadillac tax hits them in 2018...40% excise tax.

Globalists? That's rich, you guys want less regulations and are against unions, but somehow think corporations are gonna be all for hiring American workers because of that, that is just naive and short sighted.

The world is not right-wing or left-wing.

And yes, there are globalists. They are for open borders, bringing the best and brightest here to America to work, etc.

Go read up on Krugman's thoughts in the 90's regarding globalism and US labor.
Then go read up on Krugman's thoughts in 2007 regarding globalism and US labor.
