Mass deportations of undocumented migrants in the United States are expected to begin soon, following orders from President Donald Trump. This move could have significant repercussions for the U.S. construction industry, a sector that relies heavily on migrant labor.
Undocumented workers make up a substantial portion of the construction workforce. Their potential removal could lead to labor shortages, increased costs, and delays in projects across the country. Industry experts warn that the loss of these workers might slow down infrastructure development and affect the economy at large.
The situation raises concerns not just for the construction sector but also for the migrants who have contributed to the industry for years. As the nation awaits the implementation of these policies, the future of both the workers and the industry remains uncertain.
