That these same people also exploit undocumented people is a separate issue. Give them papers and you'll have no problem finding jobs!
I am refuting your point that people complaining about labor shortages shouldn't be voting republican. Which doesn't make sense because these ppl want
1. low regulation, taxes and lax labor laws.
2. availability of immigrants.
GOP provides both of these. Why would they care if ppl working for them are illegal or on h2 visa.
> Give them papers and you'll have no problem finding jobs!
Trump admin increased h2 visas despite what you are claiming. We had the highest number of h2 visas allocated under Trump and Bush and lowest under Obama admin. Obama slashed these visas by half from bush era. Most of the resistance to seasonal visas comes from democrat voting unions who lobby against these visas. They lobbied obama govt to slash those visas under the guise of protecting their local union memebers.

But yes your larger point that Republicans are fine with migrants they can exploit for a few years as long as they can make sure they "go back to their country" is well taken!
