I don’t think people realize just how many immigrants work in construction. I’ve been on construction sites where there is only one person that speaks english and he doesn’t even speak Spanish. Literally communicating through hand gestures and numbers to make sure we’re on the same page. If they all disappeared there literally would not be enough people to continue the ongoing construction projects throughout the entire country. And this is all construction not just in recovery. You can’t build an apartment building with three dudes and project manager.
Of course not all of them are illegal. But after a couple months I don’t think Trump and his team will care if they are or not anymore.
Seems a little late, but I’m glad they’re starting to realize it. It’s hard to admit when you are wrong, especially on heavy topics like this. And jumping on the “I told you so” bandwagon will only make things worse for everyone. If there’s one thing I know about people it’s that as soon as you start questioning and insulting what people think or believe they will defend it until the day they die just to spite you. Even when they know they are wrong.
