> There are plenty of tech workers, but not enough cheap ones.

Then there are not enough tech workers: supply and demand.

> Lots of companies also want experts in specific technologies instead of getting a good generalist who can learn quickly.

Then there are not enough experts either, though you try to blame this on the companies: how cheeky of them to hire more knowledgable people!

No,artificial increase of supply through government intervention to drive down wages. It's a bit like "reverse protectionism",but at the expense of local workers. But hey i'm sure if you could own slaves you'd still be bragging about "supply and demand".


I'd argue that preventing people from moving freely is an artificial limitation of supply. The US didn't get where it is in the world by putting up giant signs saying "keep out".


Sure, open borders! see how it goes for you ,your family and your security.


I'm an immigrant to the US :)
