Somebody had to say it By Carolyn Hileman

Having heard my fill for the second year in a row that there are jobs that we in America can't fill and that is why we need to bring in people from other countries, I have decided that since they won't say it I will, if as they say we have a shortage of skilled workers that shortage falls on those who would spend their time trying to coddle leaders of other countries rather than address the fact that while we are prepared to pay $32 trillion dollars over the next ten years to make sure our new citizens are happy, there has never been and never will be a bill on the house floor that will give our children the ability to gain that training.
