Yes, and you can fulfill this growing demand by raising wages, which is essentially the market mechanism to bring in additional supply. Another way to address this is by importing cheaper labor from abroad.

For American workers, it is better to let wages rise than to import foreign labor (which would ultimately suppress wage growth).

Therefore, importing labor does suppress wages — as you've essentially demonstrated yourself.
