AI plays a crucial role in reducing illegal immigration into the USA. Additionally, AI saves a significant amount on the expenditures of the federal government on education and medical care for the children, the elderly, and the disabled. As a financially challenged individual with disabilities, I wish for the sooner realization of In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) robots. Currently, the hourly wage for a human domestic worker in Silicon Valley, CA is 25 to 50 dollars, depending on how young they are! Not only that, but most poor blue-collar workers do not want to work with the IHSS of Santa Clara County because they pay only $19.50 an hour, and those who are working with IHSS are clocking in hours indiscriminately without actually helping the disabled and the elderly!
