There have been sections of the border which enacted tough enough policies and technology to actually keep out illegal immigrants. Over time, it cratered the local economies, to the point that politicians got involved and fixed the border patrols back to the insecure way, so that everyone could have a big pool of desperate, vulnerable farm workers again.
Got an article on that? Seems like that would be an interesting read.
This isn't exactly what the previous comment was talking about, but it's similar. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/oct/14/alabama-immigration-law-workers and there's something similar going on Florida too https://www.npr.org/2024/04/26/1242236604/florida-economy-immigration-businesses-workers-undocumented
These are my go-to articles anytime the subject of undocumented workers comes up. Personally, I think we would go back to the old model. If I remember correctly, the 1930s was when immigration started to be severely restricted; but, before that, temporary workers would come up for a season of employment and then go back home. All of it was done legally. It wasn't until immigration restrictions were enacted that there was an incentive to stay and move their families into the US.

They're not exactly the story I was thinking of, but the pattern of actions is generally the same.
