South Texas will never be red again: Home builders warn GOP over Trump’s immigration raids

Home builders are warning President Donald Trump that his aggressive immigration enforcement efforts are hurting their industry. They’re cautioning that Republican candidates could soon be hurt, too.
Construction executives have held multiple meetings over the last month with the White House and Congress to discuss how immigration busts on job sites and in communities are scaring away employees, making it more expensive to build homes in a market desperate for new supply. Beyond the affordability issue, the executives made an electability argument, raising concerns to GOP leaders that support among Hispanic voters is eroding, particularly in regions that swung to Trump in 2024.

This is exactly what I voted for. So did the rest of the country. Politico is such a rag.

So we need illegals to vote RED. To counter Muslims? I’m lost…

So use Americans. Or legal immigrants. Or even temporary guest workers.
Of course you actually have to pay any of those instead of stiffing them and threatening to rat them out to migra if they complain.

Like Abbott's buddies, the brothers who built the neighborhood for their illegal workers? Of course, Abbott looked the other way. Those campaign donations sure do help.

If your industry can run only due to hiring illegals, your industry has foundational problems you should be addressing instead of masking them.

translation:
Trump's immigration enforcement policy is working better than expected and illegals are fricked because there will be at least 3 more years of this.

The new home buyer market is totally over saturated with foreigners as it is, mostly Indians and Asians.
So we have foreigners building homes for foreigners. It’s all a big smoke screen for a total fake and propped up economy. GOP now tie libertarian dorks love selling this shite as “good for the economy and jobs” even when it is a big circular jerk off for foreigners and upper class elites.

There profit margins are so huge...they'll just have to shrink by hiring legal workers.

If home builders are willing to betray their country and people, then tuck them.
