You're equating Mexicans with > illegal immigration. Such a move is classic limba. It is clear you either still don't understand, or maybe you do and find that sort of response more effective. In your post mentioned automation costing less and being somewhat less productive than the workers who were displaced, just like the immigrants. A card carrying union worker is going to cost the same regardless of his ethnic background. A legal immigrant is going to cost the employer the same as any other legal worker of the same skill level. This means that comparing legal immigrants to automation is nonsense. (legal immigration is throttled, limited to prevent flooding the labor market) Illegal immigrants however are much, much cheaper, don't have the ability exercise the rules for a safe workplace, etc and so forth. A comparision of them to automation makes sense. Cheap labor will often prevent automation from being used. Cheap labor vs. automation is a typical choice in many industries. Thusly, the conclusion is you were refering to illegal immigration in your comparison to automation. Comparing to legal immigration doesn't make a lick of sense. Of course I do leave open the option that you wrote a post that doesn't make sense.
