Just stop with the “Americans don’t want those jobs.”

There are a lot of ways for us to improve the quality of life for Americans through cutting off this labor source:
1) Labor shortages will drive up wages and people will want those jobs
2) Automation for things like meat packing, agriculture and manufacturing
3) increase vocational training for the trades (we graduate many kids with no marketable skills and need pressure from business to reform K-12 education and apprenticeships)
4) we support many able-bodied adults with many welfare programs (many Democrats argue that they are “unable” to work due to addiction, lack of education and work habits, etc. Perhaps if the alternative was destitution, they would be more motivated to show up to a job.)

In short, why should we rely on a continuing supply of low paid unskilled laborers to benefit corporations, but who exact many direct and indirect costs on society and American citizens?

PP wants things to cost more.

I think PP thinks it is unjust that you like to save money through promoting policies that establish a permanent underclass of undocumented workers.

I support policies for reforming immigration laws to provide a path for citizenship for the undocumented people who are already here, and real options for legal immigration for people who are not yet here but want to come.

The US should probably fix its immigration system soon. Climate change will increase the number of people who want to come here. But we will still want immigrants as our birthrate continues to decline. Democrats need to figure out a coherent policy beyond amnesty. Republicans need to stop pretending to hate immigrants whole in their private lives they exploit them.
