This isn't about unemployment benefits, employees are required to return to work or lose their benefits. The shortage is due to Republicans deporting our workforce. The shortage is not in all segments of the work force, it is in food service, hospitality, construction and various other service industries.

When ever I hear, we are short on staff, I immediately say, very gently and kindly, "I know, deporting the Mexicans was a horrible idea" then I give a sincere smile.
