It is not surprising when Big Business calls for more immigration to keep wages down, but what has happened to the American left?

there's a shortage of manufacturing workers. What jobs are these immigrants taking away from those snowflakes who can't seem to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

factually wrong

there is shortage of workers willing to work for low wages with no health benefits for part time jobs.

there is NO labor shortage.

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."
