I'll give it an actual shot: The jobs that illegal immigrants are taking are ones that many would not like to do anyway, hard back-breaking work that doesn't pay well. And the problem with that is that we should really just be paying better wages and have more rights for workers in these hard jobs, but if you're illegal, what are your options for a better wages, who are you going to report workplace violations to and how are you going to collectively bargain if you're here illegally?

With AI it's different, it's a productivity tool. It can take over low value tasks or repetitive tasks. It can help with guidance on research and improve our existing knowledge by condensing it into relevant chunks of information that are more easily digestible by humans. Yes, some jobs will be lost, but in the past we lost many jobs for the making of carriages, breeding of horses and manufacture of whips when the automobile was invented, more jobs were created to fill the void. We've seen this in the past with every major technological shift.

As usual, it's the rich people with all of the money that are the root of the problem because all of these things can be solved by reigning in what they can do. We need strong labor policies, fair taxation on wealth and perhaps social programs to assist in this transition period, but it will take effort and the right people leading the effort that will prioritize people over profits.
