"If the choices are an underclass of migrant labor whose human rights are always in jeopardy, or automation, automation is the path to success."

I'm not so sure about this argument. Migrant workers come into a country for a reason. Removing this opportunity does harm to the migrant worker. Any migrant worker human rights issues do need to be addressed, however I'm not convinced it is a good reason for automation.




I'm also skeptical of people talking on behalf of others in situations like this. I'd like to hear what the migrant workers think


I appreciate your appeal for further information from people not likely to participate in this forum. Do you yourself have any additional information or argument that would be of interest?


I mean if my boss lays me off I lose a good opportunity. I'm not sure if that means I have a human right to lifetime employment at my company.

I'm Canadian, moving to America would open many doors for me and put me in a better economic position and give me more well defined constitutional rights. Does this mean I have a right to migrate to America.

I understand people in desperate circumstances like refugees should be given special consideration. But expanding that to all migrant labour seems to be a strained definition of human rights
