As opposed to employers offering to pay 30% less than market, and bitch and moan that you cannot get anyone to take the job...

Then complaining to government that there is a labor shortage.

Then pressuring/lobbying/bribing (legally, of course, with campaign contributions) their representatives and the representatives of others to change immigration laws in order to tilt the playing field in their favor.

Then hiring someone from a country where $2,500/year allows someone to live in luxury.

H2B2 is more dangerous to our mfg. base, along with the transfer of mfg technologies. Many US companies are pressuring their suppliers to buy from China because they are in partnership with the slave labor companies there. The Dems can't use this because for 8 years under Clinton this went on. The Dems can't keep Cali without illegals voting.

Bitching and moaning doesn't solve employment problems. And the "market" is ALL the people willing to do the work. Not just some people who are arbitrarily chosen by some. The amount of legal immigration levels has always been a bone of contention.

Government has caused the problem by interferring in the process, they will not be the solution.
