Real estate builders have warned Trump that his strict immigration enforcement actions are harming the construction industry and could soon affect the Republican candidates' election prospects. In the past month, construction executives have held multiple meetings with the White House and Congress to discuss how immigration raids on job sites and communities are scaring away workers, increasing the cost of building homes in a market already desperately needing new housing supply. In addition to housing cost issues, these executives also raised concerns about the election, reminding Republican leaders that support from Hispanic voters is decreasing, especially in areas that shifted to Trump in 2024. The CEO of the South Texas Builders Association, Guerrero, directly told lawmakers, "South Texas will never turn red again."
