They would if they paid more.

If you aren't finding employees, offer more money, don't look abroad for people.

If you need to increase your prices to afford it, then increase your prices

If your restaurant doesn't survive because people think it's too expensive, that's the free market.

You're spot on. Some businesses need to fail for the system to work properly, but for some reason we don't seem to want to let that happen.

I'd be all for unfettered immigration if it worked both ways: you, the capitalist, get to try to hire people from cheaper parts of the world, but I, the worker, should be able to move anywhere, work immediately, gain citizenship and--this is the big one--unionize across borders.
