"Mexicans" and other immigrants, are *not* taking jobs. Automation is. Yea yea, sure, immigrants coming to the USA have always taken low level jobs, the sort of jobs that no one else wants. We all know that. Impoverished immigrants have done the same thing when they migrate to another country, and have, since the dawn of time.
What I mean is now currently, the last 5 years, the last 15 or 25 years, increasingly jobs that human beings did are being replaced by machines, robots, computers and other forms of automation. Soon, most doctors will be replaced by AI computers. Patient information will be uploaded into a computer and diagnoses will be printed out. This removes the potential stereotyping, bias and preconceived notions a doctor might have, and will isolate *only* on factual information. And soon most surgeries will be performed by a robot as well. Think of those precision robots that don't have bad eyesight, a hangover, they have no stress and are not distracted by their own personal issues and faults the way human beings are.
Beyond the two examples of machines doing what humans used to shown below, there are now machines that lay bricks, build homes, and cars, planes and trains that can drive and fly themselves. The Japanese (and others) are using robots as waiters and waitresses. Red light traffic cameras and speed vans with cameras will catch violators, and less police will be hired. Farmers and those in various agricultural professions are using tractors and machinery that replace workers on a level never seen. Its sort of like how they used to have secretarial typing pools, and people sent things out to be printed at Kinkos, business cards and flyers from print shops, now we do that from home. With 3-D printers, people can and will make their own little gadgets, doohickeys and thingamabobs at home, including guns. I could go on and on, but I trust you see my point. If people want to be cranky and pissed off about the loss of jobs, I get that, and don't blame them, but its the rich white guy that sent everything overseas the last few decades that is responsible, and who is now getting everything done with robots that is to blame...not some $7.25 an hour Mexican.
