President-elect Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants is causing concern in Texas, particularly in the construction industry, which heavily relies on undocumented labor. Industry leaders warn that mass deportations could severely impact the state's economy and infrastructure projects. Economists argue that Texas's workforce is insufficient to meet its growth demands without immigrant labor. Trump's stance has sparked discussions on potential immigration reforms, including guest-worker programs, as the state braces for possible policy implementations.
