When TSA mandated that every screener be a U.S. citizen, there were predictions that "Americans wouldn't do those jobs."

The predictions were wrong of course.  And you've cited a single example without describing any details.  Not convincing at all.[/quote]

That's odd...I could have sworn this article was written like three days ago  :| : https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/us/california-farmers-backed-trump-but-now-fear-losing-field-workers.html

But in conversations with nearly a dozen farmers, most of whom voted for Mr. Trump, each acknowledged that they relied on workers who provided false documents. And if the administration were to weed out illegal workers, farmers say their businesses would be crippled. Even Republican lawmakers from the region have supported plans that would give farmworkers a path to citizenship. “If you only have legal labor, certain parts of this industry and this region will not exist,”

"[b]Farmers here have faced a persistent labor shortage for years,[/b] in part because of increased policing at the border and the rising prices charged by smugglers who help people sneak across. The once-steady stream of people coming from rural towns in southern Mexico has nearly stopped entirely. [b]The existing field workers are aging, and many of their children find higher-paying jobs outside agriculture[/b]."

But I'm not sure if a trump voting farmer dependent on undoc'd workers saying they'll absolutely lose/go out of business if these deportations continue would be convincing enough for you :(
