They don’t care about you: Dems want 470,100 illegal migrant workers because they keep wages low!
Opinion by Jason Richwine • 9h
Imagine I tell you I’ve been looking for a research assistant, but my pursuit has come up empty. I simply cannot find any applicants who have the requisite skills. I contend there must be a “shortage” of research assistants. Imagine the many research ideas that may never be put down on paper because I don’t have the help I need.
It’s about time the government does something about it!
“How much does the job pay?” you ask.
“Minimum wage,” I reply.
If you are like most people, you would have an amused reaction: “Of course you can’t find anyone – you’re not paying enough!”
As obvious as it may seem, this point seems to be lost on those who believe the US has a “labor shortage” that can be solved only through more immigration.
In unveiling its budget proposal this week, Gov. Hochul’s office echoed the “shortage” rhetoric. New York has a shocking 470,100 “undocumented” workers — that is, illegal — and if the state loses any of them, it’ll suffer, she claims.
