Immigrants account for 31% of all workers in construction trades across the country. In Florida, an estimated 38% of construction workers on foreign-born.
The National Association of Home Builders is on record saying, "Mass deportation is not the answer because any shock to the labor force would have an adverse impact on housing costs and supply."
