Yep... we need to keep all those low-wage no-skill jobs right here in America where they belong.

The state of the art in speech recognition and AI is that technology could be used as a force multiplier. If it wasn't for the cheap third world labor, more Americans would have high paying/highly taxed jobs designing, building, and maintaining robotic systems. I don't want to answer calls or pick lettuce myself, but I would love a job automating those jobs. Increasing worker productivity, a euphemism for increasing automation, is held back by anti-American policies and attitudes.
