1) I'm not sure I believe that..

2) Even if it were correct, that's exactly the kind of incentive I'm referring to.. A labor shortage that would, in theory, if it paid well enough and seemed secure, convince millions of young people to sink themselves to the knees in debt in an attempt to fill it and prosper while doing so.

Well, first of all, there shouldn't be any need to sink yourself into debt. There's an education overhaul that needs done in this nation. Big-time. That is a much bigger barrier to young people than highly qualified and productive immigrants will ever be.

Secondly, the unemployment rate for college graduates was under 5% the last time I checked. And that number includes all of the worthless bachelor degrees out there.
