It’s basically saying we need more illegals.

more illegals, to do the work Americans won’t do?

I don’t know the pay scales, but decades ago, was acquainted with people who worked at a state highway admin. depot. They were state employees, and adjusted for inflation, were getting paid the equivalent of $30 per hour in today’s money. And they were hourly, and got time and a half overtime for driving snowplows overnight.

If they are still getting paid so well, I’m stunned that we can’t find enough Americans to do certain jobs.

Maybe there are issues, because to drive a truck, you need a truck driver’s license in most states? And maybe it’s hard to get such a license?
