America’s Dream Home Builders Fund Trump’s Deportation Party with Alien Labor

KEY POINTS

•From 2019 to 2023, Dallas-Fort Worth topped US home permits with 61% immigrant construction workers.
•Trump’s mass deportations risk deepening nationwide construction worker shortages and raising housing costs.
•Despite new vocational training claims, native-born construction workers continue to decline significantly.

Between 2019 and 2023, Dallas-Fort Worth led the US by issuing more home building permits than a Starbucks sells coffee, boasting a 61% immigrant-heavy construction crew. Miami’s workforce went even higher, with nearly 75% foreign-born—because nothing says tropical paradise like a melting pot of hard hats. Meanwhile, Harvard researchers noted cities like L.A., D.C., and Houston can’t build without immigrant labor, yet ironically, Trump’s administration insists on ripping away the very hands hammering out your new mortgage trap. Anirban Basu, ABC’s chief economist (no relation to the wrestling move), warned these deportations will spike costs and cause delays, like trying to assemble IKEA furniture but tossing half the screws. Despite touting job training for 'American hands,' ironically, native-born construction workers are shrinking faster than a cheap sponge cake. So brace yourself: homes are getting pricier, and America’s housing markets are about to go from ‘open concept’ to ‘open wallet.’
