As a result, automated replacements are coming on particularly strong in the food industry, particularly since some workers have been clamoring for $15/hour — bad timing there. Below, McDonalds has begun to install ordering kiosks in […] November 27th, 2017 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, food prep, immigrant workers, job displacement, kiosk, low-skilled workers, restaurant, robot | Email This Post | Print This Post Robot bellhops were introduced to the public as a coming thing in 2014 when trials began.

As usual, nobody promoting the idea has any suggestion of how the government would finance the trillions of dollars annually required. Perhaps a start would be to […] May 22nd, 2017 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, California, immigrant workers, job displacement, robot, smart machines, technological unemployment, universal basic income | Email This Post | Print This Post The Big Lie of the Democrat Party is that it stands for the working American while also supporting open borders and unlimited immigration: both cannot be true because a surplus of labor always results in lowered wages. May Day is supposed to underline solidarity with worker rights and wages, but lately not so much. It […] May 2nd, 2017 | Category: replacing American workers with cheap foreign labor | Tags: aliens, amnesty, cost, Democrats, illegal alien workers, immigrant workers, immigration, job displacement, May Day, workers | Email This Post | Print This Post Immigrant-sending nations have a problem with Donald Trump and the possibility that pushing their unskilled persons and criminals into stupid-generous America may shrink. They are miffed that Obasma’s open borders could shut to a degree, leaving some with a decreased remittance haul of fewer billions of dollars. (The United States is the major remittance-sending country, […] January 27th, 2016 | Category: immigration politics | Tags: aliens, assimilation, border, crime, culture, diversity, illegal, immigrant workers, immigration, Islam, jihad, job displacement, Muslims, national security, remittances, stop Muslim immigration, Trump | Email This Post | Print This Post Do Republican Congressional leaders think nobody will notice the monstrosity that the Congress has created in the omnibus federal spending legislation? One element of the bill would effectively quadruple the number of H-2B foreign workers for blue-collar non-farm jobs that millions of Americans need.

He gives well researched speeches on the Senate floor (available on his YouTube channel) on the subject and also publishes edifying press releases and the occasional longer piece to inform the Republican conference and the public.
