I think automation, sooner or later, is gonna come back to haunt China. Imagine super-automated mini-factories producing all of those things here, cheaper.

In a sense it will. Their productivity is but a fractions of ours. Whether they develop beyond a low labor cost economy we'll have to see.
We already have visas to cover quotas for agricultural workers. One of the 9-11 hijackers came into the country on an agricultural visa but never worked on a farm. In California the growers are now having a hard time getting enough workers because the illegal aliens who used to do the work now have no fear of ever being caught or deported with Bush in office. The illegals now are taking Americans' retail jobs, contruction, drywall, restaurant workers, cashiers in supermarkets, etc. Eight illegal aliens were working at the Los Angeles Country Dept. of Water and Power (one was making more than $100,000 a year). Why should illegal aliens stick with hard farm labor when they know they can easily go anywhere in our country and work pretty much wherever they want as Presidente Jorge W. Bush has made it clear he will never enforce our immigration laws.
