Robots racist!

The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?

LOL! If the 3 Laws of Robotics are being followed by their programmers, they'll vote solidly conservative.

Those machines will scare a whole bunch of fat rabbits out of the fields. Organic rabbit tastes good, if you take the time to dress them and cook them. Maybe the Mexicans can collect them for us?

Like Bush said, "It's a job American slobs won't do"

One of the consequences of a massive robotic revolution will be that jobs for untrained workers will dry up

The job I had working with robotics was the sort of job that didn't require a degree but it was still skilled enough to keep it out of reach of illegals.

I don't think this will stop illegal immigration, though. It'll just eliminate one of the excuses. If these jobs are no longer readily availbale, maybe they'll take the time to come here legally? One can only hope.

Heh! Maybe with time on their hands, thanks to robotic devices doing the jobs Americans don't want to do ... the hostile invaders of our country may use their time wisely to learn English so that they might progress to better jobs.

Nah ... Too much trouble ...

Americans work as garbage men and as miners.

Tough, dirty, and dangerous jobs.

Why don't illegals steal those jobs?

Could it be unions are better than industry or government at policing illegals in the work force ?

I know a little about programming 3-axis mills. I also know how to avoid becoming trapped into that and becoming depended upon. I like working microwave exclusively. Nobody knows what I am doing or where I am, except the chief engineer. I achieved the level of being a ghost. What I work on is high quality radar that nobody else can do. No questions, no pages, no phone calls. Just Laura Ingraham, Rush or Dennis Prager, Sean Hannity or Micheal Medved are with me. And assorted other wildlife.

One of the great things about technology is that it doesn't eliminate jobs (because it doesn't bury money). It just moves them around. One of the consequences of a massive robotic revolution will be that jobs for untrained workers will dry up (like illegal immigrants) but engineering fields will flourish.

Just what we need a bunch of engineers running the country the same way they've been running GM the last few years. Wasn't Jimha Kotter an injuneer? A newclheer one at that.

In general, yes. Although union leaders are now becoming Aztlan-heads, because some of them are members of those kind of groups. The workers are anti-illegal.

I'm curious where some of these dissolutioned union workers will go. The green party is full of socialists, and the dems are increasingly pro-open border. I doubt many of them will go repub or conservative. We're in odd times. It seems like the wedge is really coming out in the open.

But don't forget about the 4th Law which states "Robots Always Kill Their Masters".. I learned that one on watching "Twilight Zone". :^)

Robotic techology requires good technicians and good engineering planners and programmers. I'm sure large operations can benefit, if they choose well and there is a competitive need. I wonder how many schools have research in agricultural automation..? If it is up to Liberal schools.. probably not a single one. It would be nice to see a real producer bypassing the establishment and doing it. After all, Apple Computer started in a garage with only an idea. USA Rules!

Robots should be the Second American Industrial Revolution. Any day now.

The foreigners who are coming in by the millions won't be affected anytime soon.

The POTUS says the illegals are doing jobs that Americans won't do.

An American is a 'Citizen of America"

So we have a lot of Americans that are from Mexico, China, VietNam, South Africa etc. These people, according to the POTUS won't do what the illegals will do.

OK so I'm on a roll here.

If we make the illegals 'American' then according to the POTUS they won't do the jobs that they're now doing because they're 'American'.

OR, is the POTUS really being a racist in saying that 'Americans won't do these jobs', is he really saying 'Whites won't do these jobs but Mexicans will' or is he saying that once the illegals become 'American' they won't do those jobs?

Also if the illegals become 'Americans' will they then be required to pay for their health care as they now don't?

When they need to file with the IRS for back years, how many will qualify for the EIC?

Since they've been working for so cheap, how long before they seek reparations?

It just seems to me that there is not really a good solution and it looks like we're heading towards the NWO at a pretty good clip.
