What a Concept
Okay, Val - but that's something different.I was talking about having machines controlled by a remote location that do work here in the States.
Like having a group of Mexicans picking oranges while controlling these machines from T.J..
This seems to be working with some surgical applications.
A guy can be in one city while the machine is doing the work in another.
What if we could get all the Mexican labor we needed without having to deal with the Mexicans themselves?
The recent movie Sleep Dealers deals with the concept of drones operated by foreign workers which do the jobs Americans don't want to do.With our current fixation with drones in war, maybe this idea is not that far from reality.

Public Works Program (Socialism?)
In a down economy - jobs matter.With our current level of employment within the military being about 1.4 million people on active duty and another 670,000 civilians - would a large reduction in our war activities create an even worse problem with unemployment?
Added to this, there are another two million civilians receiving benefits for their past active duty.
Being the world's largest exporter of weaponry - how big of an impact would peace have on one of the few American industries which still actually makes anything?
Aren't many of the weapons made by us also being used against us?
How much wealth is spent to maintain all of our military bases worldwide?How much do we waste by ensuring that parts for weapons are made in many states in the Union and then assembled on sight instead of in only one or two plants?
How many contractors rely on government funding to ensure their profits?
Maybe the naysayers were correct in saying that this is not a war for oil.
Maybe what this actually is is a war to ensure employment for a country that seems to produce little more than conflict.
They're Taking All Our Jobs!
Maybe Arizona is right.Maybe we need to protect or land, our jobs and our families.
As California's economy teeters on the edge of collapse - one of it's main revenue generating industries seems to be overrun with foreign workers.
Time Magazine states that "20% of Hollywood is Canadian.".
Okay, this may not seem like a big deal but the 12% drop in entertainment industry employment is 60% of the total amount of jobs lost in Los Angeles County.
Sure, Pam Anderson has some tig-ole-(silicon)-bitties but so do many native born American women.
Is Pam taking a job away from some other well endowed American worker?
The Entertainment Industry generates roughly $27bn annually for the state.Aren't there American women who can sing Country Music as well as Shania Twain?
While the International Boundary is the longest in the world at 5525 miles - one seems to be able to cross from one country to the other with little problem or effort.Is it fair that Nelly Furtado can make money in the United States but then spend that money in Canada?
Sure, Titanic made a lot of money for James Cameron and Hollywood - but did we really need Celine Dion to scream for, what seemed like, two hours of the film?Don't we have any qualified screamers here in America?
Yeah, I'm a fan of the Matrix movies - but did Carrie Anne Moss and Keanu Reaves take jobs away from American born actors?Why do we put up with over a billion dollars annually being injected into our neighbor's economy?
Isn't this just outsourcing American jobs to Vancouver?
Should we really have Alex Trebeck hosting the American game show Jeopardy?
Should Brendan Frasier keep taking roles away from native actors?
Shouldn't we have kicked Corey Haim out of the country before he died of a drug overdose?
Why does Howie Mandel get to give away money on Deal or No Deal instead of a native born American host?
Evangeline Lilly acts on the show Lost, and judging by her country of origin maybe she really is.
