To clarify I never said there are tons of manufacturing jobs in the West to be filled. In fact, the West has lost many manufacturing jobs due to outsourcing and automation
However, while manufacturing jobs have declined, the demand for labor in service sectors such as healthcare, delivery, retail, and care work remains very high and often faces shortages.
These service jobs, though sometimes requiring qualifications or skills, are essential for society to function and are generally low paid. That's why immigrant labor is crucial to fill those gaps
So no contradiction, manufacturing jobs have decreased, but service jobs still need workers, many of whom are immigrants.
And if Apple shut down all its overseas factories right now, returned to the U.S., and had American workers produce iPhones, you might have to pay at least $3,000 ~ $6,000 for an iPhone. Do you like that?
