There is no labor shortage, There is, however, a shortage of jobs paying sufficient wages to attract workers to fill job openings, that will be enough to overcome this ridiculous Biden Inflation. 

For most Americans, real (inflation-adjusted) wages continue to drop. Wages have been increasing less than prices.

Those price increases include the costs of food, energy, rent, childcare, eldercare and transportation (cars, gas and public transit) all big expenses for working people.

Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage continues to plummet. It hasn't been raised in 13 years the longest period without a raise in its history. Adjusted for inflation, its real value is the lowest it's been in 66 years.

You don't have to be a financial wizard to see why some workers might say the hell with it.

Economists offered similar warnings of a "labor shortage" after the financial crisis and recession of 2008-09. But when the economy strengthened and wages rose, the so-called "labor shortage" magically disappeared.

Covid or The Chinese Virus should of never happened. 
It wouldn't of ever shown up here in the U.S. if The Chi-Coms would of taken responsibility and locked down their borders to restrict international travel out of China.

 JP> Many farmers would love to exploit foreigners legally, but even they
 JP> don't get that chance legally because conservative Americans, fearing
 JP> foreigners, would rather close the border than see those foreigners
 JP> working in the fields.

Conservative Americans do not hate immigrants, we were all immigrants at one point, but there is a major difference - w/ the deliberate choice that is made intentionally with being a free loader or working hard to support your growing family.

but.. here is what WE do hate. 
But here is what we do hate:
A broken immigration system that allows illegal immigrants to go to the head of the line in front of those who have waited their turn.
Luring poor people to make the dangerous trek through Mexico with unrealistic promises. Many are injured or become ill along the way. Some do not make it
at all.

To your other baseless points. 
Biden's Radical Environmental Policies Hurt Farmers and Americans' Food Supply
