Will this make Mexicans obsolete?

Automation makes farming cheaper and more efficient but have no fear, somethings will need a human hand for many years to come.

great....more jobs done away with.....more people with nothing to do...nothing but collect welfare/unemployment/disability.....

[MichaelCorleone]

Still going to make ‘the economic case’ for amnesty, Republicans?

This is something that agribusiness has resisted doing for a long time because Mexican slave labor at low wages was too enticing to resist.

Automating and robotizing agriculture will eliminate those Mexican laborer’s jobs. Employers will take the hit to gear up, but once done they will have more production and less labor related problems. robots never get sick, ask for raises, join unions, or have behavioral issues.

This means that millions of soon to be welcomed illegals won’t even be needed for marginal jobs. But the RINOS have as their goal to drive down the wages of the middle class and working poor (because these schmucks don’t matter) and the Dems see a growing underclass that will vote for benefits.

So then what will we do with the 30 million new workers? Oh not worry we will just give them welfare.

Will the robots urinate and defecate on our food like the Mexicans do?

[Razz Barry]

Well, John McCain said Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for $50.00 an hour. I guess he was right. Americans will make a machine that will do it. I hope people will call McCain's office and tell him about this.
Many people who want to secure the border have been saying for years, cheap illegal immigrant labor has stifled farm automation. I wonder if this would have happened if states, like Arizona and Georgia had not passed their illegal immigration laws.

The farmers will go for these machines. Migrant farm workers are a tremendous risk.

Robots doing the work illegals don’t want to do....
