Carney: U.S. Does Not Have a Labor Shortage; It Has a Wage Shortage. America does not need to import workers.

A U.S. citizen cannot compete with illegals for work.

a U.S. citizen has to pay on average 39 percent to the Government in income taxes. But when you add all other taxes then no telling how much you have to pay.

On the other hand many illegals file income tax forms to obtain cash welfare payments.

So citizens pay out their butts and illegals get paid by the government.

An illegal can easily work for peanuts when the Government is paying for free healthcare and cash via the IRS and other Government agencies.

How could a U.S. citizen possibly work for peanuts like an illegal and possibly get by? Impossible.

Maybe Trump has realized that Millennials and Meth heads don't really want to work.

Somebody has to pick the tomatoes.

Why can’t prisoners pick the fruit? Prisoners get off their lazy asses and work in the fields and farmers pay them whatever they would pay illegals and the state forces the prisoners to pay rent to the prison and to buy their own food from the prison, so taxpayers don’t have to fund their asses. They could also be forced to pay for their own medical care

Mexico was so overwhelmingly pro Hitler the US and the Jewish bankers hijacked then re-booted an existing party which eventually became the PRI which ruined Mexico while ruling over 7 decades. Hispanics are J-woke due to marranos, conversos and other crypto-Js.

America does not need to import workers. We have plenty of potential workers who were sidelined by the Great Recession and globalization.

In the first two years of the Trump presidency, America created two million jobs. The unemployment level fell to an astonishing 3.7 percent in September, the lowest level in decades, and it has averaged 4 percent over the past year.

The official unemployment rate, however, only includes Americans looking for work. It overlooks more than 90 million Americans who are officially out of the labor force. The civilian labor force participation rate is now just 63.2 percent—down from more than 66 percent prior to the Great Recession.

Even when adjusted for America’s aging workforce and more working-age Americans attending college, participation is low. Just 82.6 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 were counted in the labor force, according to the most recent figures from the Department of Labor. That’s a full percentage point lower than it was in the late 1990s, the last time unemployment was this low

The low level of wage growth indicates that despite the howls from corporate America about worker shortages, employers are not vigorously chasing workers with higher pay. Absent rapidly rising prices for labor, cries of a shortage ring hollow. All available data show a tight relationship between workforce participation and wage growth.

Importing skilled labor disrupts the climb. Instead of raising wages and employing more Americans, companies may import workers and stick them in the empty slot on the ladder. Those at the bottom do not move up. Those off the ladder never climb on.

One reason many employers prefer foreign workers is that U.S. residency is a subsidy—a form of compensation for the worker that the employer does not pay for. Visas are a form of corporate welfare that enables businesses to pay foreign workers less than they would need to pay a homebrewed worker to do the same job.
