Well you see. There are only so many trades workers. There can never be more getting in to it. They also can't move because...hell I have no idea but apparently you can't go if there's a shortage in your home state.Do you have ANY IDEA HOW supply & demand works? ANY at all?Hey geniuses, the survey of the shortages of skilled workers was taken before Harvey. Facts show that builders right now can not keep up with demand in their market. Will they just leave the trade market that they are already in and behind in and all go to Texas/Louisiana and fix Harvey's leftover damage?
Oh my fucking god.What we have here is when ideology dumbs down people towards the illogical.
It's not tough of a question? Builders now can't keep up with demand, there's a shortage of skilled workers within this sector. Temporary pulling back on Trump's Green Card reform is the answer to a grave situation.
Did you people ever think out of your ideological box?

Though I am certainly not a Trump fan, I'd hate to see the effects of Harvey last too long because of the politics of immigrants who are skilled construction workers.
The right thing Trump could do is to temporary stop the Green Card reform and let the skilled immigrants come to Texas and help the reconstruction of Harvey's wrath.
Normally, I'd be happy that my OP projection is correct, but in this case I'm not.
It breaks my heart to see all the lives lost and broken lives in Texas and Louisiana. It's sad to know these people are going to have to go through a long, long process to get their lives back.
It has been very heart warming to see neighbors helping neighbor. Seeing Texans from all over the state rush to the storms path with boats or anything else they had to had to help rescue the victims and help comfort them was unbelievably outstanding. I hope every one who posts on USMB donates something to the victims.

But YOU go ahead and believe the political tripe all you want, the rest of us will remain in reality.[/QUOTE}
Well, I have been in the healthcare industry for 30 years dealing with executives & managers from world famous institutions to small rural chains. Do I think I know the industry like you claim to know your industry? No.
Secondly, I would like to be wrong about the OP. But based on what I have read, with no one saying it won't be a problem but political hacks on a message board, I'll go with experts who deal with numbers. These people I have used know the Houston region and others know the US situation and this is their speciality.
I think you should contact those who are quoted and tell them what you know, because in your world, you be da man!
Can you find data that backs up your conjecture. Facts over conjecture, deal with it.
Finally, as I stated before, I'd love to be wrong, wrong, wrong!
You work in HEALTHCARE. I work In the construction industry. As far as my talents and knowledge of MY INDUSTRY go....I AM DA MAN and you are a lemming falling for political tripe.Idgaf what everyone else thinks. I work in the industry and am well aware of how shit works in disasters. I spent many years traveling to them myself.

Poor babies. They might be forced to hire Americans.
As millions of acres of fruits and vegetables aren't being picked because we've seen Americans don't want those jobs.Poor babies. They might be forced to hire Americans.

I pray to gawd this is satire
Are you daft? WTFHmmm, it seems the new home construction is already having a problem with demand.
===========================================
Total housing starts rebounded in June, signaling positive momentum for residential construction in the second half of the year. Housing starts rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.215 million in June, a rise of 8.3% from May. Gains were seen in both single and multifamily starts. Growth in residential construction is likely to persist in the next couple of months, since new housing permits also increased significantly last month.
Inventories Tight as Housing Demand Grows
========================================
With the fact there already is a shortage of skilled labor in this market and builders are struggling to keep up with the current demand, where will Texas and Louisiana builders find skilled labor to fill their need for recovery?
Workers from all across the nation will flood devastated areas JUST LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO.
