Why We Need A Robust Immigration Plan

The Miami Herald (09/04/2018)
$75,000 a year with benefits; no college needed.
Yet local employers can’t fill jobs"Other young workers shy away from the physical nature of the work... Anyone with a high-school diploma seeking a job or apprenticeship can simply call or walk into the nearest Associated Builders and Contractors location to fill out an application and take an aptitude test."

Many years ago my late uncle left Gary, Indiana as a carpenter to seek work in Florida. My how times have changed. If Americans don't want to do this anymore I'm sure plenty of those seeking a better life here in the United States are more then willing.

I've posted here several times why technical schools are a much better alternative to college. Seems kind of dumb to me to end up with a $50k+ debt with no job compared to what's being offered. This speaks volumes about the character of what this nation is becoming. A country which no longer values sweat equity. One which expects someone else to get their hands dirty but unwilling to allow those who come from outside this country to do it for us. Reality is we can't have it both ways. Someone has to end up doing the physical labor. If not us nor them-- then who... elves in the middle of the night?
