5-10 years, especially in the rural areas. I have a small ranch and it is almost impossible to get people to do fencing, cattle mgmt, hay production, or general ranch work with out immigrants. They are skilled, hard working, and dependable - but since the rightwing war in immigrants it has disappeared.

Just my opinion - America need immigrants, without them we become stagnant and are beginning to rely on technology vs people to increase our productivity - the results are almost dystopian.

As I said earlier - I find it disgusting. As far as I am concerned, bring back the Texas I knew growing up.
