The people you talk about do not ever show up and even apply....they live with mama or on the government dole. The skilled worker issue is one thing, but this unskilled labor is quite another. Is a truly great country one where it's own citizens do the very low end of the totem pole work? I'm not so sure it is. Again, quite a different issue from higher skilled jobs and workers....
Those people would work the jobs if they weren’t paid so well to sit on their duffs, and the law of supply & demand would arrive at a real wage. They won’t get $15 per hour, but they’d get more than the immigrants take for it. We’d also fix our schools, since industry has no use for a swelling illiterate underclass.
FWIW, over the past decades more & more skilled workers are being replaced by skilled immigrants - and not just in tech.
Wright you're a big prick but do you have to prove it every day?
