IMO, the current labor shortage, despite it's cause, proves the concept of immigration restriction (illegal AND legal) as a policy good for Americans and America.
You restrict the supply of labor and the price goes up, ie wages. There is also other benefits of shifting power from the employer to the employee, such as just better treatment and working environment.
A co-worker of mine got a job recently. A better job and he was kind of excited about it, but it came up in conversation with his new boss that he had had a vacation scheduled in a week.
THe boss said he could take it.
The guy was like, "Nah, once I start something I want to get going, not stop a week in".
So the Boss was like, "Delay your start date by TWO weeks and have a nice vacation."
That is the type of treatment you get, when employer fucking remember that attracting and keeping good staff is part of their job.
Instead of just squeezing the shit out of you workers and patting yourself on the back for being clever.
