Frankly, if your job is to pick up a nut and put it onto a bolt, you are a drag on our economy.

Frankly, if your job can be done more cheaply in a foreign country, you are a drag on our economy.

Same reasoning.

What industry are you in?

Not the same reasoning. The fact is that if you have a job that requires no skill, your job will be eliminated through automation or lower-cost overseas labor eventually. To protect those jobs is foolish an counterproductive.

Our economy has always evolved through innovation and cutting-edge technology, not protectionism of zero-skill labor.
