Is there a labour shortage or a labour shortage at the salary they want to pay? I would think that immigration is required to handle the scut work that the natives don’t wish to do. Otherwise, society’s going to suffer as these low paid “essential” workers remain absent. The uk is providing the first example but there will be more as politics seems to be anti immingrwtion.
Totally agree ... there is never such thing as a labor shortage; just a shortage of people who will choose to labor at the rate that is offered.
