I agree with everything except this. If companies can't find workers, it will force them to review the pay and benefit to attract people. If it still doesn't work, the government will certainly allow immigrants to enter legally for those jobs.
Right now companies are employing immigrants with shitty pay and without any benefits. It is slavery.
In France many illegal immigrants are working in delivery jobs. People are not against doing those jobs but the conditions are shitty. So illegal immigrants are doing those because they don't have a choice and maybe it is way better than in their original country. But that is exploitation and slavery.
You do realize we're talking about the fascists here, yes?
In such a case, they'd be receptive to something like DACA, which was very surgically set to grant legal status to the "obviously useful" immigrants.
But no, the same administration that demands mass deportation will let industries burn to the ground before they ramp up legal immigration.
But you are right that the other side of the argument "but we need labor without protections to make stuff cheap!" doesn't sound particularly good.
Oh you clearly haven't met American conservatives. They've already done this a few times. It blows up in their face every time and now they want to do it nationally.
It's happened before in the construction industry very recently like the last time trump was president... I just can't find anything on it... So I can't really back this up...
But they couldn't replace those workers last time it wasn't even about paying people it was finding people who knew how to do those jobs because they were gone...
Remember people were told to go to college not to learn a trade... For the last 40 years at least... I lived through it and it fucked me over but that's not the point..
They told Americans not to learn these jobs...
Well, that and these policies shift every few years. So if you try to embrace the 'new normal' it stops being normal in short order anyway.
But in any event, it is a problem that the ostensibly "liberal" side ends of favoring making a labor class exempted from whatever rights and privileges have been granted to the legal labor class. It's also a problem that the deportation is cruel to the immigrants. Unfortunately, we don't have any policy in sight that is compassionate and empowering for those that do come to the country.
