Even if there were no illegal labour to exploit, companies would simply shift to investing even more heavily in robotics and automation. That we heard little to no discussion in the election about technological growth and its role in job losses during the campaign was disappointing. Blaming free trade deals resonated more I guess, but if even China is losing manufacturing jobs to automation, maybe it's time Americans started having the conversation about whether technology is developing too fast and it's effect on Americans jobs.
