This is something that is going to happen sooner than we think. This should be talked about now. Watch the whole video (8.59 min..) Count all of the workers you see.

I have read a report that states 80% of unskilled jobs will disappear by 2050.

Yep...only one guy dancing with the mop.....and I bet he's an illegal from the Obama years..!
Let's tell the Guatemalans to gather their kids from the shelter and go home...no work for them here .....
But I noticed the $100 manicure on that nicely dressed woman suing the US government because her kid died ....
I bet she didn't come here to pick our vegetables...! :laugh:

How does the Kool-Aid taste Silly? I think you're over dosing on it. The last figure I've heard is that we are holding 125,000 illegals. There's a bit over 300,000,000 people in the USA. That means we will increase the population of the USA by .0004166% with those 125,000 aliens. That's 4.166 ten thousandths of a percent. Is it worth spending those billions of dollars that we are spending on the incarceration? Don't you realize that Trump is playing you for a fool?

BTW...Those private corporations running those detention centers are paid by the head count and they are loving this Trump campaign stunt.

Around 1900, 40% of the jobs in the country were farming related. Now that number is around 2-3%.

People will find jobs elsewhere.

I'm still wondering if Trump will make coal great again as he said he would?

Two of the jobs I did as a kid were tomato picker and apple picker.

Both of them involved me working with illegal immigrants (and perhaps a few legal ones), and that is why I speak conversational Spanish.

Just recently, I saw demonstrations of automated machines to pick both of these, so the demand for millions of illegals will vanish and leave them sitting on welfare with no education, no skill, no fluency in English, and with their many kids costing taxpayers in public schools.

That's currently the situation with millions of Trumpers.

So what's your point?

It means American citizens are going to have to pay the bill for the cost of taking care of illegals. For the rich no big deal, but for the working American citizen it means their children will have to go without so illegals can have the fruit of their labors.

There was a deep point, and that is that the future is automation, with less need for unskilled labor.

The 12 to 30 million illegal immigrants are uneducated, unskilled, and not fluent in English generally.

Dude, it's cheaper to house and feed them at the immigration holding areas then it is to house ,feed and educate them after they're released.
