Someone needs to tell the House Speaker that the basic economic principle of ‘supply and demand’ definitely applies to the workforce in America. Paul Ryan’s 2015 2,009-page omnibus spending bill had 700 pages slipped in regarding H-2B visa expansion for foreign workers. He believes that the supply of workers in the United States is not enough to make up for the demand by employers.
This is a staggering suggestion, that the unemployed workers in the United States, the marginally attached and or discouraged, would not take a seasonal job if it became available.
The supply of able bodied workers should be the first to meet the demand of these businesses, yet Ryan believes low-waged foreign earners are the ones who should take them. He has no evidence to support his claim “that corporations are facing a shortage of labor, which rendered the provision necessary.”

It’s true. It’s too expensive for these companies to hire American. Google, Microsoft and a bunch of other companies use foreign workers. Why do you think that everyone went crazy when Trump tried to ban those people from the 7 countries, because these companies couldn’t get their people to work. They were stuck at the airport.
He was brought along by old rich establishment, therefore can not see past what they dangled in front of his face. He only wants to be old rich establishment even if it destroys our country as we want it to be
No, we’re too expensive for them.
Hire all the immigrants we need, just have em line up and enter correctly.
Paul Ryan is a traitor
Idiot.
The only thing is, a lot of people have given up on looking for a job, so it’s hard to tell how many are really out of work. The unemployment rate will not give you a true number.
Get lost you idiot !!!!
I’ve never trusted this speaker and want to see him replaced ASAP.
There Ryan is straddling the fence again! If he keeps it up I hope Mr. President pushes him on over to the other side soon. I can’t stand wishy-washy! You’re either for or against or you’re in or out because there is no in between. Get a grip Ryan or “you’re fired!”
