They want cheap workers, not more.

Actually what they want to do is go to the government and cry "we can't find work, please give us subsidies"

It's why they come up with literally impossible job requirements like the "need 8 years job experience" for an entry level job.

I'm fairly certain that those kinds of positions are "offered" on the expectation that they won't be filled so they can fill them with cheap foreign labor.
