LETTER: Two million jobs empty, we need immigrants to fill them

To Ozaukee Press:

There are probably three million people at the border trying to get into the United States. To the MAGAs this is a huge problem. If they become citizens, they may vote for Democrats. Their solution is to build a huge wall and keep families from their dreams of America.

The Democrats want people to become U.S. citizens and they have created a comprehensive immigration reform plan to help them. MAGAs have stonewalled the plan for over a year.

Inflation is a huge problem in this country. Wages have gone sky high. Why not teach the immigrants English and have them work hand-in-hand with private businesses? Train the new Americans to fill the over two million entry-level jobs which are empty. Our economy lives on low-wage workers who find a way to move up the ladder.

A “huge problem” can be transformed into a huge opportunity to grow our economy. It will take money up front, but the long-term benefits to our economy and people seeking a better life in America will pay big dividends.
