A human can be hired and fired at will. Once a healthy robot industry has evolved, perhaps it will be easier to rent robots for short-term periods with little commitment, but until then, the disposability of humans makes them more attractive as employees for certain businesses with uneven revenue. <br />On a different note, in the US, many employers favor illegal immigrants not only due to their wages (which are not that much lower than those of legal workers in some cases), but because there is a lot less bureaucracy associated with working with them - no paperwork, no restrictions on hiring and firing, no lawsuits etc. Some states make things easier for companies when hiring legal labor, but there are still some regulations and requirements putting up obstacles to the labor market, so it's always more efficient to conduct this type of thing outside the legal sphere.TheVidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344788573052372170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-11428776546169652242018-03-13T09:41:46.162+02:002018-03-13T09:41:46.162+02:00Check out this good news from the USA; https://www...Check out this good news from the USA; https://www.npr.org/2018/03/12/592823598/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-reshapes-who-qualifies-for-asylumAbu Daoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399746942963002389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-36699723408600087172018-03-13T01:55:03.757+02:002018-03-13T01:55:03.757+02:00especially to ensure the sustainability of the pen...<em>especially to ensure the sustainability of the pensions system, since immigrants are on average younger than Italians and have a higher fertility rate.</em><br /><br />Except that immigrants in many cases turn out to be a permanent drain on the welfare system so they actually make the situation worse rather than better.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
