Ernest Harris+FollowTexas construction jobs hit hard by ICE raidsConstruction sites across South Texas are feeling the pinch as immigration enforcement ramps up, leaving many projects stalled and workers afraid to show up—even those with legal status. Contractors say they’re struggling to find enough hands, and some businesses are warning they might have to close if the situation continues. With fewer workers, new homes are taking longer to build, and prices could climb for everyone. It’s not just a local issue—other states are seeing similar trends. How do you think this labor shortage will affect our communities and the cost of living? #Business #TexasConstruction #LaborShortage00Share
Jill Smith+Follow"They are taking our jobs?" I’ve been trying to hire a roofer for 3 months. Nobody wants these jobs. 🔨I run a small construction business in [City/State]. I offer $25/hour to start. Hard work, yes, but honest money. I get zero applications from "locals." Zero. The only people walking onto my job sites looking for work are recent migrants. They show up on time, they work hard, and they don't complain. People scream about "stealing jobs," but let's be real: When was the last time you saw a kid born in the USA picking strawberries or roofing a house in 100-degree heat? If we kick them all out, who is going to build your house or pick your food? Business owners, weigh in: Is there a labor shortage or not? #LaborShortage #BlueCollar #ConstructionLife #ImmigrationDebate #Economy635931Share
