Omg. I awakened this morning thinking of

an old MAD magazine parody from my youth:

Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse from your teeming shore

And I’ll send ‘em right back
Send ‘em right back to you!
Your huddled masses
Your wretched refuse!
I’ll send them right back to you!

I think it was a Goldwater parody or maybe Agnew. Hair Furor or his deputy dog Miller must have internalized it a long time ago.

Cheap labor has been sought in many forms unfortunately no one likes the consequences of cheap labor. Now the greedy are on the cusp of really cheap labor in machines.
