Candidate Biden Pledges Huge Immigration Increase

Candidate Joe Biden is such a fascinating gaffe machine that sometimes his serious policy quotes get overlooked. He had one a few days ago when he was speaking to the Asian Latino Coalition, where he uttered the much-reported Bidenism, “Poor kids are just as bright as white kids.”

At the same event, he supported […]

Fox News: 2020 Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang Examines the Automation Issue

The presidential election of 2016 had zero mention of the coming automation threat, so the appearance of tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang as a 2020 presidential candidate was a hopeful sign that America might be alerted to the mass unemployment that is predicted for the future by numerous experts.

Andrew Yang discussed his presidential campaign on […]

Robot Dishwasher Promises Less Human Scrubbing Will Be Done in Restaurants

Dishwasher seems like a perfect job for newbie unskilled immigrants: English is not required and training is probably an hour, max. It’s one of the more basic jobs. In fact, an open-borders booster website says, Immigrant Dishwashers Do the Jobs Americans Don’t Want, so we spoiled citizens apparently need foreigners to keep our plates clean.

The Automated Farm Is Getting Closer

The recent New Yorker Magazine has a thorough story about automated agriculture, with strawberry picking getting particular attention. The magazine does like its articles long and rambling, so the reader learns about assorted agro-facts like grower complaints about the H-2A visa, the manual skills required to pick delicate strawberries (“a wristy twist that prevents bruising […]

President Trump Loses Lou Dobbs over Big Immigration and Corporate Suck-Up

Fox Business TV host Lou Dobbs had been an enthusiastic supporter of the president, but the recent sight of Trump cozying up in the White House with Apple CEO Tim Cook and US Chamber of Commerce honcho Tom Donahue sent the broadcaster over the edge.

Even worse may have been the reaffirmation of increasing […]

Robot Reporter Threatens Scribbler Jobs

It’s hard to feel sorry for journalists losing their employment because of automation since so many of them have never been sympathetic to the job loss of American workers caused by inexpensive immigrants. But now smart machines are moving into news offices and are already cranking out articles that are heavy on numbers, like finance […]

Senators Cotton and Perdue Discuss RAISE Act with Tucker Carlson

There is plenty of chatter about immigration flying around the ethers on a daily basis, but very little concerns the big policy basics of Who and How Many. Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA) have done the nation a service by developing and submitting a bill that recognizes the reduced need for foreign […]

Burger Joint Robotics Are Coming Soon

Fast-food restaurants are a major target for automation developers because of the high labor costs connected with preparing food and dealing directly with customers. Kiosks for ordering food have begun appearing as a result of their simple design. In February for example, Wendy’s announced it would install kiosks in 1,000 restaurants (around 16 percent) by […]

Self-Driving Trucks Threaten Major Blue-Collar Job Category

We already know that foreign cab-drivers are a bane to life and safety, so seeing them replaced by self-driving technology would be an improvement. A few examples come to mind, particularly Jordanian immigrant Jehad Baqleh who murdered Julie Day in San Francisco at the suggestion of the devil, he said; the Bangladeshi cabbie who in […]

Ecuadoran Park Worker Falls to Her Death in Yellowstone

Is working in this country’s spectacular national parks a job that Americans just don’t want to do? Apparently the government thinks so, judging from the foreigners it promotes to the head of the line.

The recent death of 21-year-old Ecuadoran Estefania Liset Mosquera Alcivar is regrettable, but it does remind us of how Americans are […]

Senate Hearing Investigates Myth of American STEM Worker Shortage

On Thursday, Senator Jeff Sessions’ Immigration Subcommittee held a hearing titled, The Impact of High-Skilled Immigration on U.S. Workers. The hearing was not that different from a similar one last March, and it indicates the desire of the chairman to enact some meaningful reforms. However, killing the H-1b scam outright seems the appropriate action when […]
