What did they do in the south after slavery was abolished? Invented machines that more efficiently processed cotton than humans could.

And if it holds true in the case of modern agriculture (though in many cases, such as tree crops, it cannot) -- the jobs Americans won't do are going to become jobs that nobody gets. I believe I mentioned that above....

IOW, there's no point whining about jobs taken by illegals that will be automated once the illegals go away....

Well, if that's the case I'm sure that one operator with a machine, doing the work of ten people won't cost as much in medical expense, welfare, incarceration, and probably even payment as Ten illegals almost certainly will cost us.
