jokes aside - yes, if pickers are banned in favor of Americans, then automation will get a boost. But then that means less jobs.
Also, automation will take time - for this season you’ll just have people.
And the people will take time to get good at a repetitive task - look at your average lazy Joe who works a desk job. It’d take months. The picking season is 4 months. If Joe Blow needs 2 months to be as good as Jose Bloze, that means the farmer will need more Joe Blows initially.
Cronos quit projecting your abject worthlessness as a worker and human being onto the rest of us. Go away you globalist hack POS.
