Ernie...by "neighborhood" I meant enforcement by ICE by going directly into neighborhoods to go after folks they know are illegal because of past criminal histories or to follow up on information provided by employers when the folks leave after they have been notified of a mis-match or a DOL audit. Obama's DHS folks pulled back on that because of protests from MAPPA and other organizations...including the Mexican Consulates.

Again...the states and local governments do not enforce federal immigration laws.

We had shortages in California ag during the housing boom over the past half a decade because farmworkers were moving into the construction field. Despite the downturn in construction over the last year, they have generally not returned to agriculture.
