Pilot shortage in the US?

Today in the ALPA daily I was reading about the so-called pilot shortage in the US and problems with finding pilots with 1500 hrs. While here in Canada, we accept pilots from all over the world (shooting ourself in the foot), do you think the US will ever consider opening the border to their fellow North American friends?

Although I'm a university graduate in engineering with an aviation college degree, having 2000 hours tubine time with a NATO SECRET security clearance still valid, it seems easier for a guy that was born in kuala lumpur to get the green card.....this is so frustrating
