Don't need them now.

They won't.
Short-sighted people don't realize that. Eventually technology, just as you described, will cause mass displacements in workers globally, but there will be no decrease in productivity.
These workers will have to learn new skills. The outsourcing of IT jobs offshore will also haunt them. These jobs will disappear there too.
How many less people now work in banks than even 10 years ago? How many tellers were displaced by ATMs?

Technology aside, what would we do with all the 'guest workers' planned under the Senate Bill come the next economic downturn? Economic effects are bad enough with this level of employment, and we are in a good economy right now. What about the next down turn?

Our government will make small biz loans to them (the illegals) at 0% interest and they will be able to overwhelm the average American busineses with little or no competition. We will continue to provide health care (while we/our families die in our beds for lack of being able to afford it) for them and their spawn (3-8 children per family, plus all their inlaws and more).
And we will struggle to get them to speak English in public and around town, including in schools to no avail. The illegals will break the education system and when they are given amnesty to become citizens, they will vote into being, laws to enrich their children through Spanish speaking, education systems. English speakers will get/(have been) kicked to the curb. The middle class will pick up the tab for all this. That's what we Americans have to look forward to. Prepare yourselves, here it comes!

with free trade around the world, every country is in a race for the bottom, and that is why companies in the US want illegals. I'd rather pay more and have my country back.

Same thing they're doing now. Telling us we don't want to work and take over more jobs until no one can afford to work.

soylent beige? a poor joke, i know. if the corporate mentality persists at its current level of consciousness, everyone will have to fend for himself--social darwinism at its finest. good luck to us all, even those who are "legal".

We don't "need" them now. Americans are perfectly capable. Send them home!
