Mass deportations targeting undocumented migrants in the United States are set to begin imminently under the directive of newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump. The construction industry, which heavily relies on migrant labor, is bracing for potential disruptions.
The construction sector has long been a significant employer of undocumented workers, whose contributions have been pivotal in building the country’s infrastructure. With the impending deportation strategies, projects may face labor shortages, delays, and increased costs, posing challenges for contractors and developers across the nation.
Experts warn that a reduced workforce could slow down key developments, impacting the economy and delaying the completion of critical infrastructure projects. The ripple effects of these policies highlight the delicate balance between immigration enforcement and economic stability.
