I'm not saying immigration is good. My preferred solution to automation is not immigration friendly (Universal Basic Income, which only works if only paid to citizens).
I just want to make it clear that we need to consider additional solutions because these jobs are disappearing regardless. And even if your job is safe, will it be safe from the 2 million truck driver (and related) jobs when semis start driving themselves? Entire towns exist only to support truck drivers passing through and they will vanish. And this is only one technology we will have to face in the next decade.
