Anne, the answer to your question is MONEY!!!! Sure they have the technology to do this job without men having to risk their very lives, but human labor is "cheap labor" in those parts and thats the answer. Hell, these poor miners can't even get an insurance policy...Those mens families are left with nothing, not one thin dime. But does our government help, NOPE, they would rather spend ours and those miners tax dollars on the illegal aliens families, while our own born in America citizens starve or worse.
