Yes, It's even difficult to find people to remodel or repair homes.

Too many businesses are finding it difficult to hire employees. Allowing more illegals into the country to fill the employee gap is NOT the answer..

I've heard people actually say, "I'm not going back to work when I can make more money sitting at home."

WOW, almost like people were not paid enough to begin with, sure people don't want to work if they are not paid what their work is worth

To many people are bringing more in on unemployment then they were in their paychecks or for some it's about the same as they were making when working but on unemployment the benefit is they get to stay home for the same amount of money and for some they gained the benefit of no daycare costs.

Yes, but this is not as bad as what it sounds like. Unemployment benefits can help with frictional unemployment. In addition, it can allievate cyclical unemployment social costs that increase with joblessness, like crime, discouraged workers leaving the labor force, family health etc.

Why not ask the Cubans, say in a vote, where they all get to voice their feelings, and not suppressed by their communist government.

If we don't, then Disneyland might get it, and they would ruin it.

This has nothing to do with America 1st! Trump & the GOP can't handle what is happening in the US. Let alone messing up the Governments of other Countries. No one Voted for the U.S. to overthrow other Nations to take over their Governments. They Voted to have US problems fixed, not make them worse.
