Very true. I know a road construction business owner in Texas who is already having serious problems finding Labor.  And he’s a GOPer.[/quote]

Long term labor shortages do not happen naturally in market economies. That is not to say that they don't exist. They are created when employers or government agencies tamper with the natural functioning of the wage mechanism.

"[To attract] workers, the employer may have to increase his wage offer. ... So when you hear an employer saying he needs immigrants to fill a "labor shortage'', remember what you are hearing: a cry for a labor subsidy to allow the employer to avoid the normal functioning of the labor market."

How’s Teitelbaum at operating a road grader? Because no amount of subsidies is bringing labor to South Texas to pave roads in the summer.  The alternative is the road doesn’t get built or repaired. [/quote]

i can remember liberals making the same argument about oil.  if prices go up ahh, we can;t deal.  people can;t cut back.  absurd.

and why are you so quick to deny low skilled labor greater wages ?   are you that special?  what if they paid people $50 an hour and health care to grade a road.  bet a lot of people would do the work.

your assumption that workers must accept low wages is ignorant.[/quote]
So why is Trump importing low-wage foreign workers for his properties instaed of paying Americans decently for the same jobs?[/quote]

They have a worth ethic and make good employees [/quote]
