| [American Thinker] With the press largely focused on the college cheating scandal and cooking up new ways to Blame Trump for the mosque massacre in New Zealand, some real news is going largely unnoticed: "US Job Opening[s] Soar To All Time High: 1.3 Million More Than Unemployed Workers." Imagine a jobs report like that coming out during the Obama years. Imagine such a report coming out during a hypothetical Hillary Clinton administration... Imagine it coming under the administration of one of the 15 lockstep socialists running for president on the Democratic Party ticket. It just wouldn't happen if, God forbid, one of them should win. The job creation is so high under President Trump's tax cut and deregulatory regimen that there are more jobs than workers to fill them. The quitting rate is higher, too, and that means workers are finding higher-paid jobs, not just the one they have now, which means it's a worker's market now. President Trump took some flak for advising would-be illegal migrants to come here legally on the grounds that Americans should get first dibs on jobs, but given this labor shortage, it was obvious this was the reality out there. And yes, illegal immigration is surging. Many are coming here for jobs. When was the last time workers can ever remember having not just a job, but their choice of jobs? |

| #3 Wages rises can only last as long as migration is countered or jobs are moved abroad to places with lower land values... Some jobs are not exportable so they will see the most benefit from stopping the subsidisation of migration. |

| #2 See, that's what's wrong with Trump - he's taking away peoples' excuses for not working; that's the same thing as slavery! |

| #1 Got a friend who runs a bar/restaurant says he has never had so much trouble hiring in the entire 19 years he has owned his place. Has people turning down $20 / hr to pour drinks. |
