The only aliens I suspect have made their way to the US are viri hitchhiking on comets.

From my perspective robo dislikes esoteric themes and ideas but he is right about everything else. I bet he would agree that trade with Mexico is in jeopardy not because American jobs went to Mexico but that robot technology has replaced those jobs forever. Furthermore he would agree the Wall is a boondoggle.

Mexico is not the problem automation is. It has very little to do with trade. trump just that wrong idea in his head that jobs are being stolen and thinks it will sell to Joe Hickey in Indiana.

I have a trade deficit with Safeway grocery store because I give them money and they give me groceries. We are both better off for it. Its not inherently a bad thing.

The problems are NOT solved by starting a trade war with Mexico.
Education, Infrastructure and training will do much more to expand an employment force. Yep even immigration.
