Merit-Based Immigration Could Fix Labor Shortages | Deron Smallcomb on Dr. Phil #immigration #drphil

In this short clip from Dr. Phil’s podcast, immigration attorney Deron Smallcomb explains why the U.S. immigration system should focus on a merit-based approach to address labor shortages. Deron shares a real example from California, where construction companies are forced to bring skilled tradesmen from other states because local workers are no longer available. He discusses how Congress and immigration agencies could adjust priorities annually — focusing on trades, regions, and economic needs — while benefiting both immigrants and American communities. This conversation highlights how smart, targeted immigration reform could strengthen the U.S. economy instead of weakening it. #Immigration #MeritBasedImmigration #LaborShortage #DrPhilPodcast #DeronSmallcomb #ModernLawGroup #USImmigration #SkilledWorkers #GreenCard #ImmigrationReform
