They actually tried having ag work done by illegals in places like Mississippi around 2016 to be done by legal residents (nobody applied or showed up) and prisoners (most quit after 1-day).

After that, the ag producers pleaded with the state to let things go back to the way they were.

New residents will always take the jobs the current residents do not want. It's been that way for hundreds of years.

The current 2-million shortfall in workers that is pushing up wages and creating headaches for employers coincides with the 2-million reduction in legal immigration since 2018. Correlation does not mean causation, but I think in the years to come we will see that there was a direct correlation here.
