I thought Paul Ryan actually knew some economics. There is no such thing as a labor shortage. If a business needs workers they increase the wage to entice people to work for them. What Ryan is really saying is the Chamber of Commerce does not have to worry about offering higher wages because Ryan would bring in foreigners to work at lower wages.
I appreciate him saying so. I just don’t believe him when he does.
Nice to know that Ryan is so prescient that he can foresee what is going to happen in 10 years.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Guess what? They’re going to come anyway.
What I don't get is how they define a "labor shortage". Maybe some specialized professions may need workers , when that happens we can allow more people with those skills in. But, to say that we'll need masses of unskilled third world immigrants in the near future is laughable. We have about a 15% (actual) unemployment rate. How does importing new progressive voting dependents solve that?
Let's say there really was a labor shortage of unskilled workers, what would that mean? Businesses would have to increase wages and benefits in the short term to attract people. Doesn't that help the American middle class? If the shortage persisted, companies would find ways to innovate, either new machines, or new methods of doing things or some combinations. Either way people would be paid according to what they produce.
This country became an economic powerhouse in the 19th century when we had labor shortages, due to westward expansion. The union movement didn't really take off until the early 20th century, when we had mass immigration. That coincides with the rise of progressivism. Personally I'd prefer the labor shortage economy.
Young Mr Ryan is a sprout. This of us who were around in 86 have heard this line of crap before. Sure, sure - this is it!, we'll never need to give amnesty again! This is a one time deal! "".
HOLD FAST !
huh? And yet you are pushing to let criminals become citizens, odd.
Personally, I wish he would shut up. He is nothing that he portrayed himself to be, when push comes to shove.
What a joke. We don’t need immigrants for the next 10 years?!? There are billionaires and millionaires (the 1%) who want into the USA. Is he actually saying we don’t want their money and their jobs?

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.
Six big problems with the immigration bill from someone who has actually read it
Michelle Bachmann- ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse. NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call Congress.
Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.
Former Rep. Tom Tancredo can see it coming: Even if the House passes a perfectly conservative bill to reform the nation’s immigration system, the Senate Gang of Eight will water it down in a conference committee and leave Republicans little choice but to get rolled and vote for a bill they don’t like.
His advice to his former colleagues: Don’t bring up a bill at all.
They aren’t immigrant workers. They’re immigrant leeches and RAT vote-slaves.
good times....
good times....
LOL!
HAHA, 10 years. Alert Ryan's suckers
Recall in past Paul Ryan also said we didn't need to change Medicare at all,not a dime, for another 10 years? But they have to pass it asap (2011 was first version) with a 10 year delay,.
Now he says we don't need amnesty for 10 years, but let me guess, he wants to pass it now w 10 year delay.
You see the scam? 10 years!
Tell you what Paul, you run for POTUS in 10 years from now instead of in 2016.
He is right in that there will be a shortage of physicians under Obamacare. But does he propose to replace them with a bunch of illegals with a 6th grade education?
Otherwise he is blowing smoke. Only 62% of people who could be working are working. Doesn’t sound like a shortage to me.
We wouldn’t have a labor shortage if we stopped killing 1.3 MILLION unborn babies every year - 55 million in 40 years!
Every consider how many Mozarts, Einsteins, Jonas Salks, etc. there might have been?
Talking out of both sides of his mouth. He makes no sense.
But for sure he’s gone full RINO and has been assimilated into the District of Corruption.
