There is not enough jobs, money or resources to go around especially when automation is ramping up and killing the need for humans. Truck Drivers, Teachers, Retail, Restaurants / Fast food, warehouses, farming, some IT jobs (especially because of cloud services), and I can go on all day. I hate saying this opinion especially because I know a lot of people seek to be here in the United States, but this can't sustain for very long. Also, this should apply to the world, but since I live in the United States, I can only focus on our country.
I might be wrong and someone can point it out. Most of this is just me speaking from the top of my head.

This is very poorly reasoned. No matter what, the number of jobs available will always be based on the size of the population. More people equals more people buying stuff and needing services. If we cut back the number of people in the country then jobs would naturally decline as well. Job loss due to automation will happen regardless of population size. Cutting immigration or curtailing population is not an answer. Training and emphasizing job sectors that aren’t in danger of being lost to automation is the answer.
