Trump’s Deportation Vow Threatens Texas Construction Boom
President-elect Trump’s plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants are causing alarm within Texas’ construction industry, which heavily relies on this labor force. Experts warn that mass deportations would cripple the state’s booming construction sector, hindering infrastructure projects and housing development. The state’s current workforce is insufficient to meet its growth demands, exacerbating the potential economic consequences. While Trump’s stance enjoys support from some, concerns remain about the practicality and economic impact of such a large-scale undertaking.
