Complaining about domestic supply is a legitimate complaint. Clearly asking for permission to solve a supply problem by importing foreign labor would mean 1) that you would have to pay the same rates as domestic employees in that function are paid (thus excluding the imported labor from that calculation) and 2) Those employees should be able to switch jobs at will. Without this you're complaining about domestic cost and not supply. That is, if you believe that these type of immigration schemes should be necessary at all.
