Technology replacing jobs doesn't directly benefit outsiders. Foreign labor replacing local labor feels unfair because foreigners are outside of the local people's psychological tribe. That explains why people are happy to have children even though those children are bound to grow up and take old people's job, possibly forcing them into early retirement and poverty. At least the job is being taken by another member of the same in-group so it doesn't feel so painful.
