This is an article about Germany's immigration policy that ought to be about America's education system. If we could "manufacture" skilled workers, the debate over "importing" them would be moot.
A quote like "...our nation has far too many people without jobs, far too many jobs without people to fill them..." is a statement about education, plain and simple.

- diego_moita 5y ago> ought to be about America's education system I think you're missing an important part of the puzzle: there are no people for the jobs, skilled or not. Look at the list with the most critical shortage: construction, transportation and hospitality. These are not areas where complex education is required. Without immigration every developed economy in the world will find it very hard to sustain growth, like in Japan, Eastern Europe and South Korea. We're entering a totally new age in human history: the age of population decline. But very few people have noticed this.
- jpgvm 5y agoThis is the correct reason. Putting aside the attrocious US education system the economy literally relies on immigration of both skilled and unskilled labour. They irony is some of the nation's most dependent on immigration (US/Australia) are the most vehemently against it, either because or causing racism. (chicken or egg I'm not sure). I can guarantee you no matter which populist you vote in their cabinet will not allow them to do any serious harm to immigration, noone wants to be the next Japan.
