Comment Re:Effort to thin the ranks of legal immigrants :o (Score 1) 135

It's based on the many semi-legal programs set up by the Biden administration to bring in more people without anyone else being involved in the process (see: CBP1 app, etc). If you read the summary you'll see that the workers in question entered on what was called "humanitarian parole". Asylum seekers were placed in jobs and given some other bennies to get themselves started. No real background checks were done, and there's no telling how many of those people actually showed up to work in their assigned jobs.

Biden's numbers were nuts, and ~10 million is a conservative estimate, with some estimating that as many as 20 million people entered the country between 2021 and 2024.

Here we have another huge corporation (in this case, Amazon) complaining that their cheap, pliant labor has been taken from them. Time to raise the wages and improve work conditions if you want to staff your facilities, Amazon.
