A nation is its people. The govt has been forcing people and cultural change since 1965
Oy vey
I don't want anyone else coming in regardless of where they are from or what they look like. We do not need more people. Why does the population always need to be going up? We had 76M people in 1900 and everything was fine. OMG birth rate is down lol. Even if we lost half our population we'd still have 2X the number of people just 100 years ago. What is the point of having an enormous population? What are we trying to accomplish with this? Also what is everyone going to be doing when all purpose is lost to AI and robots?
We need the people to support the economy. We need the economy to support the technology. And we need the technology to support the people (food, water, power, transportation). Or we dwindle as a people and a nation, like a feeble, poor, old man, dreaming of the times of youth, strength, and prosperity.
AI and robots are all nothing but clever contrivances, useful but not fundamental. What is everyone going to be doing? A lot.
If we draw the best and brightest of the world, and imbue them with the love of liberty and Christianity, how can that be bad for anyone? (Hint: we are not doing it today, but mostly the opposite.)
What will you encourage your kids to learn and study? What jobs won't be taken by AI or robots in 10 years? Why would I hire an accountant, engineer, programmer, copywriter, etc when I can pay 99% less for an AI that takes zero time off and has no emotional needs. People are already losing jobs in mass to this. I lost my last jobs to Indians and AI. My new job is implementing AI into everything we do. The cost of labor is going to zero and humans will not be able to compete imo.
Nearly all of them will not be taken. I have worked in high-technology industry for 50 years and I am absolutely not impressed with A.I.'s ability to plagiarize and be a search engine. It is massively inefficient and it produces its amazing results only because we have phenomenal computing power, not because there is any "intelligence" existing in the software. (We continue to see how search engines can be filtered to prevent us from finding information, or to push information. A.I. generated pornography is emerging as a new thing.) I am sorry that you have been disadvantaged, but cheapo Indian imported mental labor is not the same thing as A.I. We already have accounting software...but somehow the profession of accounting has not gone away, because someone has to be smart enough to do the right things with the software. Same thing with engineering, which is the art of solving problems. Which is the art of framing problems. What do you do when the problem is new? AI will not grind to a halt; it will not even get started. (I've seen examples of when people have prompted A.I. to design a rocket engine. All intricate details, but making no overall sense at all.) Programming? Maybe some aspects of lower-level code generation is feasible to offload to A.I, but I ask who would want to do that work? Since I regard copywriters as being next to brainless, I suppose their replacement by A.I. would be a mercy to them. Good luck with your new job...which I surmise you wouldn't have if there were no A.I.
I grew up with the fear that "automation" was going to make jobs go away. Oh, woe is us! What are we to do? And that was utter and complete bullshit. There are more varieties of work available now than could have been conceived when these fears arose. Including repair and servicing of robots. So, I apologize if I seem harsh and unsympathetic, but I have seen all this before. (In 1970, I read Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock," and was momentarily brought to the brink of anxiety. Then my common sense kicked in and I realized "this is all bullshit," and that was all that came of it. No sociological paralysis ever took place.)
If anything, it will help people get into jobs they enjoy and be good at it, by being a reference system for their specialty. It can never replace hands-on work. Some things you can get a robot to do, but it has the intelligence of a screwdriver. Some actual person has to devise the synthetic responses to acceptable stimuli. (I worked in the field of synthetic perception.) The consequences of a screw-up are fatal, as shown by the crashes of self-driving automobiles or self-driving airplanes (737 MAX MCAS).
A.I. cannot cope with the unprecedented event or new problem. Only human beings have that ability.
Exactly and if with the new economy and less taxes I am not sure how many people we will need. I don’t have the answers to everything and but if we slash all taxes by a lot and we have sound money again. How much support does the economy really need?
Plumbing electrical
Mass immigration is human trafficking being done by governments for political purposes.
It is to destroy the native populations sense of identity which undermines the country.
I am so glad people are finally seeing the light
If the hidden powers did not want the destruction of our nation and others, mass immigration would not be happening. People are getting fed up with it and with the death of our people thru vaccine’s, food that is slowly poisoning the population, and destroying the environment.
Enough is enough
