That's why they are hiring central americans to do it. The reality of the situation is we can't do it any more. I don't want to, even though I have done some tree planting and thinning on my own land.

As the bottle neck tightens those that won’t accept such jobs go away of their own volition. Adjustment is made until we get to the sustainable number. If too few adapt then we can bring in more.

For the most part you are correct, but apparently not all. Some number will be so indoctrinated into the current culture they won’t be able to adapt.
And younger generations will not hold the same ideas as the old generation so they will do better. Some of it depends upon the speed of transition, the faster and deeper the more will not make it.

There are not multiple government agencies in Panama enforcing work safety, medical, and education rules for your workers. You have negotiated a fair deal with them and that is the end of it. Free market unrestrained capitalism.
But that dog won't hunt in the USA. There is no end of do-gooder federal agencies, lawyers, and other assorted a-holes who won't leave well enough alone. You will have to give those foreign workers all the treats of healthcare, education for their kids, a minimum wage, housing, OSHA safety regulations, and the list goes on and on.

The puppet masters have you all on a string and most of you can't see it. Even some of you who should know better.

It’s pretty simple.
Forget all the drama and bigotry and accusations. The population needs to shrink.
Immigration is like a 330 pound guy whining about being fat while knocking back a Super Sized soda.
You sound like you suggesting we should just put a cork on immigration completely until we reach a desired level of population.
I would never advocate that. Why should that policy be promoted ahead of say Dohboi's suggestion of eating less meat.
Or why not outlaw exporting corn and wheat to China that is grown in arid areas that deplete our non renewable aquifers.
The 330 pound gorilla is multifaceted when it comes to human overshoot and you seem to be trying to create a 330 pound scapegoat gorilla here!

But in the shoes I’m in we whole strictly limitnommigration. No point turning us into a Guatemala.
Not that the damn cities are any better, just offer the consumption drug and hopium baloney.
Truly depressing.
