Economic Illiterates use the word ‘Shortage’. I won’t say why. Let them figure it out. The educated watch for these hidden keywords. CoC often use illiterate terminology.

CoC hate healthy competition.

You have a good point there. A lot of parents from ‘good families’ want their snowflake to worry about good grades and fashionable extra curricular activities rather than building a resume. It’s all about getting into the ‘right’ schools.

They think that since their ancestors worked without being paid, they should make it even by getting paid without working.

What good is it for us to allow any business cheap labor in exchange for also allowing access to our great society programs to offset their cost with out tax dollars?

Just one person’s kid going from pre-k to 12 costs us $200k. How, where, when, why and how would they ever pay enough tax to cover their expenses of being here unless they come with major viable skills that can keep them at a bare minimum of 125+ over poverty levels?

They just need to keep the American people stupid a little bit longer........that’s what all this “open borders” stuff is about. They all love the cheap labor.

Got a relative that has housekeepers that come to their home. I was there one day when at least 7 arrived at their house at the same time. I’ll let you guess where it appears they originated from. Sympathy for me while H1-Bs have been flooded into my line of work? Not so much.

Talk about an eye-opening experience.

As long as someone else can pay less, get more, enrich themselves on illegal labor, this thing will continue.

Change the immigration laws to allow more eastern Europeans into this country (Poles, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Rumanians and others.

Howzabout we change the immigration laws to halt immigration altogether for a period of, say, ten years -- thereby allowing a period for a.) current immigrants to assimilate, b.) removal of all illegal immigrants and c.) determination of the proper objective for future immigration.

[The Cheap Labor Express at the Wall Street Journal.]

That’s the, “bottom line” (pun absolutely intended) as to why WSJ, National Review Online, Investor’s Business Daily, etc. all pushed Trump-bashing articles all this year.

We have not forgotten.....

Add to the list any I left out (it was just off the top of my head).

These are CoC drones.....

What about convict labor? Why not just work with a prison to contract prisoners for construction projects? While I wouldn’t recommend hiring them for housekeeping, I would certainly recommend them for road work, building, that kind of thing. Get the prisoners out into the workforce and then have the entire illegal population extracted from our country. Even better, make the prisoners build the effing wall!

I never understood WHY the rich are always looking for one way to pinch money. Instead of paying for quality, they just look for illegals or any kind of cost curbing no matter how bad the quality.

How about american teenagers put down their video games and work after school. How about schools let Seniors get school credit for working half day or 1 day a week or pay higher wages so americans will do the work.

My first job while in high school was construction. I didn't work during the school year, but during the summers off from school.

They come in legally, I’m all for Mexican workers, great work ethic. Also cut off welfare and get some factory jobs bc the folks that ain’t working now, employers don’t want them with front house access to public nor any cash. Basically it would have to be no more welfare, take a bath, get a haircut, fix your teeth, stop cursing, cover the tats and loOK like you enjoy work.

says it has turned down $20 million worth of projects in the past two years because it doesn’t have enough workers.

Lie.

Ross and Carroll just east of downtown Dallas, all the illegal aliens you want.

Every day, all day.

Perhaps if we stopped paying Americans a lucrative quantity of various welfare benefits, they would be more accepting to actually earning a living.

I could live with that.

and yet the count of illegals is still at 11 million ?
It lost a million since the end of Clinton’s 2nd term and hasn’t moved since.

It’s like “Unemployment is at 5%”. And yet you still meet fools on the street who think that is true, too.

After all, they saw it on CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/Yahoo.
