Impact of Mass Deportations on Texas' Construction Industry
President-elect Donald Trump's plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants in his second term could have devastating effects on Texas' construction industry, which heavily relies on undocumented labor. The state's workforce isn't large enough to keep pace with its growth, leading to concerns about the economy. Some believe that a guest-worker program similar to DACA could be a potential solution. Trump has shown intent to follow through on his deportation promises, with support from Texas border hawks and allies like Gov. Greg Abbott.
