There is more to it than that, and I don't want to risk getting political and opening up a hate debate, but there are a aton of very well-paying jobs out there that can not or are not being filled. It seems that the whole "stealing our jobs" mantra and subsequent actions to limit the inflow of migrant workers and immigrants either worked or was a farce to begin with.
Who is going to do the undesirable jobs, now? We can't even fill the desirable ones!
