Shrinking Labor Force May Curb U.S. Expansion for Two Decades

[ctr70]

To the other topic, I’m definitely in favor of making our immigration policies more PRO immigrants with college degrees (and higher) and in possession of needed skills (high tech, biotech). This is more of a “blue collar recession”. I’m not sure we need more maids, construction laborers and tow truck drivers right now. Certainly we do need some people to fill those jobs. But there IS a shortage of software engineers and a 4% unemployment rate in high tech vs. an overall 9% unemployment rate.

I think the Government should also incentivize wealthier & more highly educated people to have more kids. We don’t need more uneducated people living on section 8 having more and more kids. I know a lot of people with money in the bank & good jobs that are having NO kids! We need more of those types to reproduce. That is our next generation we are talking about.

[quote=briansd1]Well, we need a mix of immigrants.

We need maids and low-skill service workers too. Who will service the high-skill professionals otherwise?

Low-skill labor shortages are a driver of inflation.

Yes, Acetia, the immigration process need to be reformed. Remember, visa processing is now funded by application fees and not by the Federal government.[/quote]

Sure, as long as they pay taxes, and not get subsidies.

All the financial assistance programs seem to be already pretty well tapped out even for U.S. citizens and legalized PR’s ..

And before you answer some holy mantra of “greater good of humanity” and why should any human outside of the u.s. be treated differently than the u.s. citizens and legalized PR’s, it’s because the u.s. citizens and legalized PR’s have paid some shape or form some taxes..

Pay the damn taxes to get social benefits.. It’s as simple as that.
