Chamber CEO to Congress: Import Workers for Us, Pay Them with Citizenship

Neil Munro 3 Jun 2021

The U.S. government should import foreign workers for home construction jobs and also pay them with shares of American citizenship, an industry executive demanded Wednesday at an advocacy event held by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“We, right now, this year, need 430,000 workers [and] over the next couple years by 2023, we’re going to need probably another million,” said Michael Bellaman, the president and CEO of the Associated Builders and Contractors trade group. He continued:

We need a merit-based, market-based, rule-of-law worker visa system that provides the necessary opportunities for [foreign] people that want to work in the United States, as well as for our employers to take those trained [foreign] individuals that have spent three years [working] in their companies, with the opportunity to sponsor them to a pathway to citizenship, a legal form of status, something more permanent, that will be a value to our industry.

God forbid we use Americans! How about we stop using illegals in fast food, restaurants, and other jobs that were meant to be learning positions for our high school students and quit denigrating those jobs as somehow something only an idiot would take. And more importantly still, how about teachers and school counselors stop lying to kids about the need for a college degree so that they go into insane debt for a worthless, for too many, piece of paper when the nation is crying out for skilled trades jobs that need to be filled, skilled trades that very often pay better and have better benefits than that degree will get them at Star*ucks.

Most importantly would the Chamber CEO and all like minded members kindly FOAD!
