For over 35 years, the American political system has been unable to make any significant change to U.S. immigration policy. In June 2023, a bipartisan coalition of representatives introduced the Dignity Act, a comprehensive immigration reform bill. This followed a poll showing that four out of five Americans support bipartisan cooperation on immigration that would address labor shortages and inflation.
While U.S. politics may continue to prevent an immigration grand bargain, there are many commonsense reforms the government could take to fill gaps in our current workforce. American policymakers need to wake up to a new reality: The country is running out of workers, and immigration must be part of the solution.

Natural immunity nurse, get your Covid jab or get lost.
That indicates there is no nursing shortage.
As we become a more and more socialist country, every warm body (working or not) incurs a cost to society through government paid schools, medicine, roads, food stamps, housing and just the general misery of more and more crowding. I doubt the labor value of an unskilled immigrant covers that cost so that we come out poorer for each one that comes in.
No, stop paying Americans to not work and deport ALL Illegals.
Nope - we have too many freeloaders in the country already - no need to import more. How about cutting off welfare to all but those that absolutely can’t work - no work, no food. The labor shortage would end abruptly.
Agree, and stop shoveling money for a 4-6-8 year college lifestyle on a worthless degree.
The government needs to close the valve and enforce the border with military force. We don't NEED any extra labor. That's pure malarkey.
When they say they need more labor, what they really mean is that they want people to work at third-world wages, under the table, with a wink and a nudge from government. All while they deport skilled manufacturing jobs to third world countries like China.
No need to change to U.S. immigration policy just enforce it.
Identify
Locate
Deport
Not filtering the bad is why we have this mess we have now.
There is never a labor shortage only a wage shortage.
Wages are skyrocketing!!! /sarc
LEGAL immigration is detroying the US working class more than bottom feeding illegal immigration.
Fixed it.
When I IMMIGRATED to the US in 1971 I had to
Have an excellent employment record for several years.
Be employable
Be willing and likely to work
Have a clean background report
Have clean police report
Have someone other than a family member swear in writing that they had known me constantly and currently longer than 5 years and that I was a good person.
Wait 90 days until I received my Alien Registration Card AKA a Green Card before I started to work
Have $1,000 on arrival to pay for my own support until I could work
(The $1,000 would also be used to pay for my plane ticket if I was deported in the 1st 90 days)
be healthy and disease free and get shots
Pay fees
Swear I would not apply for any government assistance, or I would be deported
The English proficiency requirement came when I had to prove I could speak, understand and read and write English to become an American citizen.
However most jobs required English.
Yes we need a round up now.
That comment is predicated on we need more LEGAL immigration - WHICH WE DON’T NEED.
Pay more. People will work harder and get training on their own.
Bunk! Companies have gotten rid of white guys because of DEI and other diversity programs. Then the top companies continue to outsource white collar jobs while shipping manufacturing jobs to china! I’ve seen it a thousand times where companies post job openings for jobs that don’t exist then they go to the government crying there are no workers to fill these jobs. It’s all bullsh-t from the damn communist globalists!
Pay more. People will relocate for better opportunity. I have done that 4 times in my working life.
Many, many "right-wingers" do not believe in the free market for labor and wages. Many of them are right here on Free Republic.
See if this shoe fits

both the Russian and Chinese Communist parties
never would have come to power in those 2 countries
with out
the Marxists in the United States
help.
They were here then
and their commie spawn are still in our government.
They are on the cusp of handing our country and the world to the CCP.
This is the history our public schools made sure we never heard.
Push this out to everyone
It gets so tedious the claim Americans won’t work. The ones that want to eat will.
