They can do that/remove the motivation as it is. But there is no willpower to do so.
Company's like the cheap labor. Not going to happen.
They could fix this tomorrow if they wanted to.
Nobody would come if they could not be hired. Just one track to fix this.
It's not just the cost of labor in wage, it is labor safety laws that would cost them. Something a person who may be deported is unlikely to say anything about. It's slavery of a different type.
It is true that Americans do not want most of those jobs and it's because they pay squat.
So why are minimum wage laws seemingly exempt for these folks... could be yet one other fix. They hire them as independent contractors where labor rules do not apply as a contract and their origin/legal status does not matter.
They have legislated these methods to make it all legal for many of these company's on the idea that nobody wants to do the work.
They are doing everything but the logical because they want it to be this way. no matter what they say for political gain. The right had 2 years to make changes that would be effective and did nothing. How can they speak with authority on the issue now.
It works better politically to do nothing and get donors and blame the left for it.
That is the problem here no matter what they say or how you think about it.
