Shootall, we have a very good work force in my area of the country. We can contribute that to the fact that we have three universities, two junior collages, and several medical related schools. (extensions from other universities.) We have our share of wetbacks, but there are plenty of jobs to go around, and plenty of people willing to take them. My son has really quality people knocking on his door almost daily looking for employment, I know several other business owners that say the same thing.
I have to agree with you to some extent on finding workers, but the shortage in this area is primarily in construction, (cement or roofing) , or in the farm/ranch industry. But this is to be expected with the booming economy we have experienced over the past few years.
I have no problem with using immigrants as long as they are legal, but I will maintain, to the day I die, there is no place for an illegal alien on American soil. While you need them to work, and perhaps line your pockets from their sweat, they are stealing from the rest of us in several areas, resulting in a higher tax base for the legal Americans.
