I guess they build lots of warships in Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela,
Central and South America, and in the Congo and West Africa......./s.

“skilled blue-collar migrants...”

I hope one of those skills is speaking English because the ones I’ve been around DON’T.

Of course there’s always the distinct possiblity the idiots in DC will spend billions making all work manuals and accompanying documentation bilingual.

That’s going to work out well.

This so tells Americans what the government thinks of them.

“What we’ve got to do is open up the spigot a bit, basically, on legal immigration to allow blue-collar workers to come here … so they can actually work in our shipyards and be employed by the types of trades that are open to shipyard workers,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro told a meeting in Arlington Va.

I actually double checked to see if this was a Babylon Bee article.

The United States simply doesn't have enough locations to support a ship-building industry.

U.S. shipping locations are already overtasked for trade to support consumerism, leaving little room for manufacturing.

CHinese built the railroads so...

Here's a good chart, from US Congress

Although "low cost" is important in ship-building, note that very "high cost" Japan has stayed quite competitive in commercial ship-building

Sadly, US ship-building is like many major US industries - on one side, it pays very well to build with Gov't money and align oneself with Washington DC, while on the other side, the industry is subject to intense neo-liberal, globalist competition and incentives to leave the USA.

However, the administration’s support for mass migration reduces the pressure on state governments and companies to train the next generation of Americans for skilled jobs. The government’s inflow of cheap migrants also provides CEOs and investors with an easy excuse to avoid the difficult task of raising per-person productivity.

Just don't call it the great replacement. That would be racist.

What jobs do the liberals want the next generation of Americans to be doing? Baristas and social media influencers?

Might as well just buy them from China then.

Carlos Del Toro born in Havana Cuba. Deport this filthy commie bastard NOW!

[blackdog]

Train them at Boeing.

[MAGA2017]

They mow lawns really well so naturally they can build a warship.

Jill Biden wants to know if the navy ships will be like breakfast tacos or more like burritos.
