You didn't read the article. They pay $20-$25 per hour. 3x the minimum wage. They can't get enough Americans to fill the jobs. Read the article. You have to read before you can comprehend.What complete bullshit.I agree that it is impossible to stop the supply.It's impossible to "bleed the supply". Impossible.
It is VERY possible to reduce the supply enough to get employers who would otherwise just let illegal employment fall in their laps to start actively seeking it, thereby exposing themselves and removing all plausible deniability.
We don't have to stop it completely. We just need to make it where those who want to employ illegals must be proactive.
That will require a lot more security at the southern tip of Texas.

I know you have trouble with the internet but if you click on this link, you'll find a different opinion from some of your fellow Texans. I read this awhile back. These employer postings got me thinking about it again.
They don't want to pay a decent wage to LEGAL, AMERICAN welders, so they bitch about an alleged "shortage" and cry, piss, moan.
But, your solution is YOU WANT MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS.
Exactly what I thought.

But you'll deny what the owners of the company are saying about the issue because they are....fake news.
$20 an hour for a welder is not good pay. What a business once did was hire and train people. They aren't interested in doing that any longer. They want people who will work for low wages that they do not have to train.
The high schoolers they want to train are not interested. They say they'll move the business to Mexico if they can't get enough workers.
I think what you want is to force business owners to raise salaries. Sounds like you're advocating for unions. Conservatives don't support unions. That's not capitalism. Free market. If you won't work for cheap, someone else will.
