    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, David North, on whether
    Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the

    | Better Utilization of Existing Potential Workers. Back in the days
    | when organized labor was on the correct side of the immigration
    | issue, the then-leader of the AFL-CIO's Industrial Union Department,
    | the late Howard Samuels, used to tell people "a tight labor market
    | is the worker's best friend," and he would elaborate to say that a
    | tight labor market caused disadvantaged workers of all kinds to get
    | jobs, and to get better jobs than before.
    |
    | As a kid growing up during WWII, I could see what he meant. Women
    | and Black people who previously had few opportunities in factories
    | suddenly filled many such jobs. Rosie the Riveter, with her strong
    | right arm, suddenly became not only employable, but a civilian hero.
    | It was less obvious, but people with physical disabilities got
    | opportunities that had not existed before, and younger retirees went
    | back to work.

    Has Bill Stepien poll-tested "immigration moratorium" with legacy
    American proles?
