Once our entire agricultural system (here in the UK) was dependent on manual farm labourers, now we grow 60% of the calories we consume with 1.6% of the workforce.

If something can be automated at a lower cost than paying wages it eventually will be, automation is coming (arguably has been here since the industrial revolution) and it's not stopped yet.

Watch this - and tell me whats cheaper, robots or mexican slaves.
It's a nice dream, but the idea of AI and robots doing dishes, picking strawberries, washing cars, cooking meals will never happen.
The best AI cannot beat a population of Mexicans who are basically the glue that holds out modern society together.
If you wanted to see how the U.S. Will completely come to a screeching halt, it would be if the rapture took place and only claimed all Mexicans.
Our entire way of life depends on them. AI will never replace them.
