Some complain there isn't enough people to fill skilled labor positions. Then they want to flood this country with illegals and grant H1B visas while claiming "Immigrants do jobs no one wants to do".

Some States exercise more control over business and industry than others.

I'm not a fan of unrestricted chain migration ~ but that IS how Melania's sister made it here. Don must be a fan.

Companies will not be automating to follow others. They will be automating to stay competitive out of necessity.

True, once said company gets past paying whatever for said machine that machine will end up costing less then an entire crew of workers. And they don't get tired or need breaks or get hurt not to mention the company won't have to pay insurance, etc. It's a win-win for the companies.
