I argue absolutely not.
Machinery easily replaces low-skill labour- seen many times in Japan with rice & tea harvesting. Japan has negligible immigration for low-skill employees- the world's no. 2 economy.
Machinery not only works out to be more efficient and cost-effective in the long-term- the obstacle is the initial capital investment which many employers choose not to make as cheap, disposable labour is more easily attainable at hand.
If employers were to invest in machinery- it would create long-term, sustainable employment and build the manufacturing sector- not to mention the financial sector.
Native populations are not lazy- it is a myth. Simple truth is natives won't work for a crap wage and no rights.
Immigrants are attractive as they are cheap, expendable & are hidden from laws and taxation.
Higher wages= people spending= more robust & sustainable consumer sector= more demand= more manufacturing= more revenue for government= more jobs for all.
Immigrants= unnecessary

You're a fool. I live in England- Iam neither Republican nor Democrat. And yes- employers should be prosecuted.
It's a pity your country has only two parties.
