If the Department of Labor continues to make it difficult for companies to hire American workers, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) warned, robots would take over key jobs in the economy.

During a town hall in Okatie, S.C., Rubio warned that the Department of Labor was too big, too powerful, and turned into “anti-business agency” that hurt the private sector.

Looks like a robot is already running for POTUS. Why does Rubio care about American workers anyway? He is pretty eager to import millions of foreigners per year.

None of the feds freaking constitutional business. They’re stupid enough as it is if they just stay within their Constitution limits. We don’t need these dolts talking about stuff they know nothing about and are none of their constitutional business anyway.

PUT AND KEEP THE FEDS IN THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL CAGE.

Well, that explains his weird repetition with Christie.

Clearly Rubio thinks robots will get the vote. He was pandering to a new demographic.

Well, I guess I’d rather have robots than illegals. I hear robots are less prone to crime and welfare.

Seeing his performance in the last debate, it looks like it’s too late for him.

Can't happen soon enough - I'd rather get fast food on the way home prepared and served by clean, efficient robots than by some of the folks currently working there.

We just had the company all hands meeting today and our CEO was talking about this. Of course we’re software, so we’re mostly looking to make money on this trend, but yeah. At least Rubio can spot a trend.
