One of the great things about technology is that it doesn't eliminate jobs (because it doesn't bury money). It just moves them around. One of the consequences of a massive robotic revolution will be that jobs for untrained workers will dry up (like illegal immigrants) but engineering fields will flourish.
One would hope that our Congress would think of the long term impact of amnesty to a large number of untrained workers. The only way they will be useful in the future will be if we also provide the education to make them useful.

The job I had working with robotics was the sort of job that didn't require a degree but it was still skilled enough to keep it out of reach of illegals.

Just what we need a bunch of engineers running the country the same way they've been running GM the last few years. Wasn't Jimha Kotter an injuneer? A newclheer one at that.
