The higher-skill markets tend not to be localized, and thus don’t follow the rules you outline.

I didn't outline any rules. The fact is that our legal immigration policies are destroying the American worker, skilled and unskilled. Add to that the illegal alien problem and you have the destruction of the American worker, skilled and unskilled. Workers have become a disposable commodity for employers who prefer to hire the part-time and temporary.

The myth of the shortage of STEM workers is perpetuated by the Chamber of Commerce and their RINO allies. They want cheap labor and the way to do that is to create a surplus of labor by importing foreign workers. It used to be that we need foreign workers to do jobs Americans won't do. Now, we must also import foreign workers to do jobs Americans can't do. It is a lie and a travesty.

For Every New Job, Two New Immigrants Since 2000: 9.3 million new jobs, 18 million new immigrants.

Is There a STEM Worker Shortage? A look at employment and wages in science, technology, engineering, and math

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born in this country; today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. Something very significant and ominous has been happening in this country since the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act. We are being colonized by the Third World.

Labor shortages are closely linked to salaries and labor costs—and for many high-skilled areas, global market forces now pertain.

Low-skill workers are having their situation degraded by illegal immigration (and, to a degree, technology), but high-skill workers are more likely to be having their situation degraded by globalization (and, to a degree, technology).
