Today's GOP is SO far removed from reality now. Imagine them throwing their support behind Goldman's analysis on this one! Not gonna happen...

Two things:
One, your article clearly states that immigration policy is not the primary driver of the labor shortage. The main driver is a consistent, multi year decline in labor force participation rate, specifically among 25-54 year old males. Fix that and you'll close the labor gap big time. in fact, there's a case to be made that increased immigration could further erode the labor participation rate.
Two, legal immigration? All for it. Always have been. My grandparents on both sides were immigrants...legal immigrants. Supporter of legal immigration? Not so much...
