Friendly reminder that building a wall isn't going to keep blue collar jobs around. Automation is going to kill them much quicker than immigrants will.

  .. and no amount of cheap immigrant labour won't stop automation. Which is why the less immigrants, the better. Less people kicked out of jobs == easier to implement UBI or similar system.

        First, this kind of post will get you banned from HN if you do it repeatedly, so please don't. Second, would you please not use HN for political or ideological battle? You appear to have been doing that repeatedly and it's not what this site is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

          The top level comment I replied to went on the political discourse and I just carried on from there. Did he get a warning as well? Personally I'd be happy to have less political HN. But as long as there're top level political comments.. It's too hard to resist :) I believe mods could easily mega-downvote such comments. Yet particular comment I replied to seem to be upvoted? As for my later comment, are jokes not allowed on HN anymore? I got grammar-nazi'd, I replied back with a matching joke.
