> There were a record 44.8 million immigrants living in the U.S. in 2018, making up 13.7% of the nation’s population. This represents a more than fourfold increase since 1960, when 9.7 million immigrants lived in the U.S., accounting for 5.4% of the total U.S. population. - https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/20/facts-on-u-s... Given that immigration to the US has been high for decades, and 1st generation immigrants as a % of the population are at the highest levels since 1910, if immigration was the solution, wouldn't the problem* be solved already? *Instead of calling it a "labor shortage", why not a "job surplus"? |
