Cost to build after mass deportations
Posted on 1/27/25 at 7:32 pm

Anybody worried about housing costs after a large amount of skilled labor gets deported/leaves? I'm thinking costs will increase big time and I plan to build in the next few years.

I mean seems inevitable. If they reduce the available work force then wages have to go up on the remaining work force.
It's not like there is going to be aninflux of people into these types of jobs.

The vast majority of these people ain’t getting deported. Book it.

I think it's severely overstated. I know some dudes in the most mexican part of Arkansas that do construction and landscaping. They are all citizens.

The larger risk may be a 25% tariff on Canadian lumber.

Are you really concerned? Yours and my tax $'s have been paying Americans to stay home that these guys and their low wages put out of work. Paying Americans higher is cheaper than paying for the labor force dropouts.

I'm for the deportation regardless of the increase in cost. It's a shame those sucking up government benefits won't be skilled enough to fill the gap. I'm just thinking it will have a more widespread affect than some are thinking. There will need to be some fiscal policy change to alleviate pressure on citizens.

I'd like to see true mass deportations. It would be an interesting economic and social experiment. But it ain't happening.
What we see now is just for show. If illegals in a community are so bad, then why is the R administration focusing on D cities? Shouldn't they want to improve the R areas first? Why aren't the governors of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, etc., all loyal red staters, not screaming for the feds to get out of Chicago and come clear out their illegals first? (Because they want to keep them.)
When GW Bush started random roundups at meat plants and such, they suddenly and quietly went away because he was getting hounded by R congressmen for those areas. They wanted to keep their Mexicans.
In addition to mass deportations, I'd like to see at least one prosecutor in each US Attorneys office dedicated to prosecuting persons and companies who employ illegal aliens. Start perp walking and imprisoning some construction company owners, plant managers, etc., and the jobs for illegals will dry up. But don't hold your breath for that to happen.

It is happening in red states, just not hitting the news. Also, they normally work as “subs” under a different company that the construction company hires but yes the companies need to be targeted too.

At this point it appears they’re going after criminals that apparently are known to ICE and are low hanging fruit.

as long as my tax dollars aren’t used to subsidize cheap labor, I don’t give AF

I don't think the ultra hard working labor types are the ones they are after.

It won’t be as impactful as you think. Most of this is just a big political dog and pony show which appears to the average person that things are getting done.

This, there's like an estimated 11-16 million undocumented people living in America
I'd be surprised if we got to much more than a million deported. There is no way they put any significant dent into that even over 4 years.
If they averaged 500 people a day, which is probably a high estimate over time, and never took a day off (literally working 365 days a year), that's less than 200k people a year.
There's a total of 20k ICE employees, they would need be like 5x that to put any real dent in that number.
Just get the ones that get in trouble with the law out of here and be done with it, beyond that is a huge waste of resources.

They are going to hire H-1B workers to do the roundups.

The people getting deported are not 'skilled' they have been taught to throw up a house as fast as possible then move onto the next one which in turn causes quality control issues. If you want a house that was built by actual craftsmen who cared about their work buy something built between 1900 and 1960ish.
