    How about pushing hate, scapegoating and nationalism heavily in order to seize political power to further their own personal agenda?

    Just a suggestion on account that has happened repeatedly before in politics and human history.

    Big conspiracies are far more rare.

    Sure, but I remember traveling to San Diego's border with Mexico late one night with a friend in 1990 and witnessing the hundreds of young men waiting for foremen to choose day laborers in the morning. It was about one O'clock in the morning and all these guys stood waiting, which means that the influx was tolerated.

    What if, in the very near future we are anticipating, fewer people need to be let into the US because of increasing mechanization in all sectors of the economy?

    Is there not a sense of anticipation by industry leaders? I heard an article on the radio the other day about the advent of robots in households in the US. The reporters claimed 10% of homes will have robots in 2020.

    You can call them conspiracies, or you can call it pushing buttons.

    It was Norman Jewison [[a Toronto born filmmaker) who sounded the horn back in the sixties with his "The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming."

    Great movie.

    I finished reading the article I posted the link to. Check it out. It is pretty telling.


    By which I mean the New Yorker article...
