"I am simply asking the very basic question of how we're going to be able to live if the need for labor — which provides us with money to buy food and housing and so forth — is increasingly going away."
So was the population growth spun by individuals only having two kids, so, if all the jobs are going to increasingly be going away, the problem was already solved and massive immigration into the country wouldn't have been needed.
You didn't want to discuss or address the increased labor that would be needed to replace that which has declined, which is in the millions by 2035. Immigration addresses those needs as the adults come in to work, their children will age into the work force they project is going to be needed. So either someone is lying about how far advanced new technologies will reduce the work force, or the intent solely has to exist on the premise that the reduction in jobs has to also come with a reduction in wages to perform those remaining jobs, the same reason they let them come in now. I am going for the later.
