    downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden
    and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2021/12/20/washington-post-low-wage-employers-struggle-after-cheap-labor-bubble/>
    | For example, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers zig-zagged between business
    | and the voters when reporters recently quizzed him about companies'
    | demand for cheap imported workers, according to a December 15 report
    | in KenoshaNews.com:
    |
    || "If at some point and time, we as a nation can figure out
    || immigration issues, the entire country would be thankful for that,"
    || Evers said. "There are a shortage of workers, people, all across
    || this country. For some reason, we haven't been able to figure that
    || out."
    || [...]
    ||
    || Evers said he spoke to a large employer Monday night who echoed
    || the workforce concerns heard by many. Evers said she told him if
    || possible, she'd head to the border and come back with as many
    || workers as she could find. "She said, 'I'd be glad to take two buses
    || down to the border of Mexico and bring back people that are willing,
    || who want to work and be good Americans, bring them back to
    || Wisconsin. I'll pay for there housing and pay them $20 an hour to
    || work, too,'" Evers said.
    || "That tells me that the immigration policy has to be fixed,"
    || Evers explained.
    |
    | But Evers knows that he will face the voters next year, so he
    | scheduled the event to announce his award of $60 million in training
    | grants for Americans.
    |
    | "We have people in the State of Wisconsin that have an opportunity
    | now with these projects in different parts of the state to increase
    | their job skills so they're more marketable," Evers continued. "This
    | is the right approach to take."

    Will Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy find a vehicle other than
    Build Back Better to help the Cheap Labor Lobby dispossess legacy
    American proles?
