You may have a lot of water, but that has not stopped Texas from building more dams and providing water for the next 50 years. Water rationing is going to be a world wide thing, so I'll take the heat, which does not require a shovel, to the cold. I'll take no income tax to the RAt system developed and supported by both parties.
We are sorry you are gone, but unless I'm wrong Long Island, NY had a small riot over day workers from south of the border just a few months ago.
