"American workers laid off by Orlando Disney are preparing a lawsuit against their former employer. They allege they were replaced by lower-wage foreign workers on H-1B visas— and that they were forced to suffer the indignity of training their foreign replacements. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, the workers’ attorney, Sara Blackwell, provides details about the lawsuit, and slams the workers’ home state senator— Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) — for pushing to triple the H-1B visa to appease his “corporate donors. “I think Sen. Rubio is a liar,” Blackwell said: When you tell America that there are not enough qualified American workers— whether you are Mark Zuckerberg, or [Disney CEO] Bob Iger, or Marco Rubio— when you say that there aren’t enough qualified Americans while hundreds of qualified Americans are being fired, and replaced by less qualified foreigners, that’s a straight lie. And I think Rubio lies. And the only motivation I can imagine he has to do so is the support he gets from his corporate donors."

Read to see more about Rubio's donors. I have a feeling other candidates will jump on this...unless their own puppet masters push for the same thing.

EXCLUSIVE- Attorney For Displaced Disney Workers: Rubio A 'Liar' Appeasing 'His Corporate Donors' - Breitbart

Don't expect to see Republican elites and the media that props them and Rubio up mentioning that this is a campaign killer.

Rubio has turned into an Establishment guy. Too bad, I used to like him. The Establishment on BOTH sides wants foreign workers to replace American workers and they lie right to our faces about it.

Marco Rubio is a Hillary Clinton in training, he isn't totally comfortable lying yet. He's a fast confident talker but his facial expressions tell a different story. Only the craftiest of politicians like Hillary can lie through their teeth with ease and grace from years of being corrupted by dirty money and politics.


Hope more people call him out and he can drop to a safe level in the polls.

Can't wait to see if Fox News mentions this about Rubio tonight. Five bucks (figuratively speaking) says they don't.

Another reason that Trump will crush the Rubster, unless Jeb! and the other candidates do it for him.

Rubio really needs to get hammered again and again by his opponents for his stance on H1-Bs and illegal immigration.

Rubio wants to be president for all it will do for him. Not what he will do for the people.

Forced? No one can be forced to train anyone. They can quit at any time.
That statement is garbage.

So tell us, who would you like to see as President, someone that will help the people? Sanders, who would turn us into a government state with the socialists directing our lives and our money? Or how about Hillary, she has done so much for her country and is the most honest person on earth, we all know that? Or maybe Trump, he really cares about us, that is why he take every opportunity to put people down, and lets us know how much he loves us and how much money he has? Yep, any of the three would really be a wonderful choice!!!!!!

They would lose their severance package if they did not agree to train their replacements. It may not be forced, but you can't blame the employees for feeling coerced.
