If business says they can't find workers, they're actually saying "we can't find workers at the price we want to pay". Tough nuggies.

Yes, but they are also saying they can't sell their products at the prices necessary to pay American workers those wages. Americans want Apple wages and Walmart prices. If you are buying $19 Chinese-made jeans at Target rather than $158 American-made jeans at an independently-owned store, you are part of the problem. See how that works?

Unfortunately, American lifestyle expectations were set during the massive growth phase from 1950-1985, and still can't easily be geared down to match the no-growth economy that we are currently enjoying thanks to liberals in government. Using illegals and cheap foreign labor is just a Band-Aid to get through the next quarter's financial results - eventually, all those losses from over-expansion in the face of zero growth are going to show up on corporate balance sheets. Then there will be no work for anybody...but we'll still have 30-50 million new mouths for the Holy Mother Welfare State to feed.

Then businesses need to do what they need to do to produce the products at the prices people want. If they can't they go out of business. What they have no right to do is to import tens of millions of foreigners, to drive down wages, increase crime, disease, violence and destroy our culture. And pocket all the profit from this and shove all the costs onto the American People.

That's their plan and that's what their doing.

Like I said, they are destroying the basis of their own existence as profit-making businesses which rely on a solid, vibrant American culture. They're morons.
