...but....but....but...I thought the very minute we rid ourselves of the illegal workforce, that millions upon millions of motivated honest hard working American laborers would be pouring into these positions? So why the need for these gadgets?

By 2100, I don’t see any farmer needing any extra help. Other than the typical jobs....laying carpet, doing drywall, or laying bricks....there’s just any work to be left for illegals. Even McDonalds will likely be run with just three people behind the counter, and everything done by robots.

Please.

Because the "gadgets" work harder, longer and faster then any human can.

You can harvest a wheat field with a hand scythe or you can harvest it with a John Deere. No matter how low you put the wages and how many illegals you import the John Deere wins in time and money.

Even if you have slaves and pay no wages at all the John Deere wins.

We should have been building these types of machines for the past 30 years but the unions got in the way and the US government backed them.
