When thinking about immigration, many people imagine smallish brown people streaming across the border in trucker hats and plaid shirts, making their way to Home Depot parking lots, ready to pick cotton, install new roofs, and drink up the country's excess Bud Light supply. The reality of downtown Los Angeles notwithstanding, this is only one aspect of exploitation of the United States by actors on its borders.

In Yuma, Arizona a bus system brings workers across the border to work the fields where the Colorado River gives its last gasp above ground in the US. As the fresh, once ice cold water sinks and disappears into the sands of southern Arizona, farm wages in the area are depressed as the region resembles a plantation operation. In Yuma, you have bosses and you have workers. The traditional family farm is a rare sight there, but Yuma remains a powerhouse agriculture production center, feeding millions of people as the blazing year-round sunshine pushes heat units to the extreme. It's a functional operation that provides a critical resource for humanity. It's very high risk, but in providing security have we also given-up what makes us American?

Some American families are in touch with the heritage of the country's founding, which was best typified in volunteers streaming toward revolutionary gunfire. They emanated from their farms and ranches, from the hillsides, and from the land. Ready to fight from far-off untamed American lands, they answered the call of freedom in support of their right to die free men among the dangers of a wide-open America. America's founders also raised families within the graceful confines of America's heartland production farm and ranch operations. Smarts blossomed in the family farm setting. The risk of famine drives consolidation and control, though, which then erodes the financial sustainability of family farms as mass production of food drives prices downward. The system's job is mass production, over production, and reduction of risk, cost, and potential for famine.

Despite the challenges facing its people, America is nothing if it isn't malleable and innovative and ready to meet a challenge. The entire landscape of humanity is changing with the adoption of next generation manufacturing, banking, law enforcement, and transportation technology. The struggle is whether to overarch nation state autonomy with centralized global AI driven digital control.

So, the future of farming and everything else is the miniaturization and automation of computing and equipment. Security is baked into the distributed production model. Centralization is more susceptible to comprehensive attack. But coordinating distributed markets will require rethinking the way we use computers. Wasted productivity on social media should be replaced with educational models around modern systems for distributed production of food and in educational models for how to create and maintain the most useful and practical modern technology. At some point along the current timeline of mankind, we reached a point of return on our automation. Human slavery is not required to support humanity anymore while a new field of innovation is tempting US entrepreneurs into taming a US technology industry that seems hostile to constitutional technology.

Technology is valuable. We can agree on this. Therefore, countries like India, Ukraine, Mexico, and China all compete for ownership and dominance in technology. America's markets - or what's left of them - attract big technology interests, but something happened post 9/11 that pressed America-first US citizens out of technology businesses. Huge and important critical segments of the US IT industry have been outsourced to foreign nations harboring large amounts of people that hate America. On the face of it, global trade seems good, but labor force arbitrage for our critical commerce and communications information systems seems to have negative long term ROI.

Internets and networks are high value targets for infiltration, exploitation, and takeover. Other nations lacking the natural resources of The United States learned to code to bolster their economies through the development of technology. Then, foreign nations traded their workforces to the United States, which in turn created pipelines to bring in more foreign nationals to work jobs eventually leading to opportunities to work on projects with significance to US national security and long term economic health. IT wages have been depressed, but the overall engineering competency of the country has also diminished, leaving its high school graduates less prepared to handle the jobs of the future. Future economies will require data miners, robotics and materials innovators, testers, and other mostly design related jobs. The work of bringing a person's vision to bear might be thought to have a negative labor input since robots can make robots that make the robots and things.

In the book, we offer a sliver of a view of what US technology workers are facing in some of today's largest information systems corporations. The book's primary protagonist, Kevin Lynn, saved over 200 jobs with the TVA in 2018 when he found himself in the room with President Trump, who signed an executive order to save the jobs. Also featured in the book are former employees of Intel and eBay, whose testimonial raises some flags for two of America's bedrock corporations. More info can be found at plainstribune.com/intheroom

We invite you to purchase the book today, a fairly short but powerful read, about how questionable court rulings have opened the door and allowed damage to occur to the US technology worker. Meanwhile, pipelines of foreign labor arrive on jets, stay on corporate housing, and sop-up critical and sensitive information within the American homeland domain creating a short term advantage for investments, but damaging the long term economic prospects, security and continuity of the nation.

As a back drop to the entire technology industry, which has been corralled by the globe's intelligentsia, is the heart of our culture, our communications and the languages they carry. Information systems used in the country are an extension of the language and the culture contained within the borders of the US. To allow foreign agents to build these information systems denies future generations the opportunity to innovate and adapt the model more perfectly in keeping with the spirit and continuity of our union.

Purchase a copy of our book today to learn about this urgent matter of national security and long term economic interests.
