West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12
What is needed to avoid yuuge economic fallout is looooong overdue bi-partisan passed U.S. immigration law reform which speeds up the pathway to legal U.S. citizenship like Reagan enacted in 1986 and Bush tried to enact again in 2004...which is well beyond the current administration's capability.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing to give special visas to construction workers, given that the Trump administration’s deportation campaign is reportedly causing a labor shortage on construction sites in states like Texas.

The Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act, introduced in September, would offer non-citizens temporary, renewable visas for up to nine years to work in key industries where employers are struggling to hire.

“That would help us protect and get immigrants legally for those in the construction industry,” Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) told Nexstar.
