New research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows that mass deportations would likely worsen the housing shortage by decimating the labor force.
Immigrants make up >23% of the construction workforce & more in FL, TX. About half are estimated to be undocumented immigrants. https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/mass-deportations-would-worsen-our-housing-crisis

Please, please organize a gigantic March in DC. This budget resolution demands Americans marching in the streets. Not just locally but in DC. Please.
577,260 foreign-born born CA construction workers at 38.6% = 1.5 million total construction workers.
Check the Economic Census stats👇
If so, we have an underground economy problem that is bigger than even I had thought.
Is this counteractive to the shortage or still significantly insufficient?
