Uh, that’s not good enough.

You raise the wages until you get employees. Period.

Don’t sweat it. I’ll pay more for my stuff if I know I’m hiring Americans, sparky.

BINGO! And the fact is you won't pay more because a tighter labor market will lead to innovation and greater efficiency.

That's right. Let the market work.

I would happily purchase chicken stamped “Made in America by Americans” if I knew not one illegal was employed by the company. No Kidding - a 20% or so premium is not a high price to pay to get illegals out of our state. And if the illegals want to establish chicken farms back in their home country and abide by FDA rules, I’d consider buying their legs and wings as well. But we have far too many unemployed Americans to tolerate cheap labor sending checks to their casas.
‘scuse me - redneck unemployed-knows how to prep a chicken.
