There are automated machines that will do this type of work. They are expensive!
Didn’t know if there was or not. Since there are, that underscores the point - if there wasn’t really cheap illegal labor, this job would be performed by bots/machines.
Years ago I ran production and packaging lines for PepsiCo. We had 63 lines taht each required a human being to fold a box, pick up the product, place in box, seal box and label. Insanely boring and repetitive work, but getting a machine to do this was incredibly hard. The technology just isn’t there yet.
Instead of human-like hands, clumsy metal paddles and doors. We finally got an internally-developed prototype running, but the maintenance required made the payout even worse.
Some jobs will still require humans, even 100 years from now.
The taxpayers are picking up the expensive cost of the illegal Guatemalans medical care, welfare, jail, and schools for their children so the employer and their customers are getting a free ride. If the cost of socialism was priced into their wages then automation would be competitive. Many technologies get about 10% cheaper every year, assuming there is a working market for them, while labor costs increase. We need to enforce the labor laws better. If one competitor uses illegal labor, they all have to to stay competitive. Automation leads to a better quality of life for Americans, while importing more Democrat voters leads to a worse future.
