I can tell you that Mexicans and Hondurans hate each other. Many will not work together at all.
The one (legal) Mexican I use for drywall and paint tells me all the time when we see the Hondurans in the Home Depot parking lot.
Its the same as Asians being racist towards other Asians based on what country they are from which is a thing I had no idea about until my wife educated me on it.

What do you mean by “everyone”? Because the industries that require proof of citizenship is not affected.

They need to start cuffing the POS's that hired them.

Yea, it will put my business in even more demand. There are competitors of mine who fake background checks (using their wives, children, etc) to get HUD ABC numbers for illegals. I know for a fact that some of our clients have been canceling those contracts and completely changing course.

Fortunately being able to afford what you’re having built or done to your house stopped being a thing people cared about a long time ago.

As it should be...... They are either legal or NOT. By the way, it shouldn't be just the construction industry being hit. Next should be hotels & leisure, agriculture, on and on.

The same thing happened in Trump’s first term. Why is this a surprise?
My BIL had it happen to his own crew. Had to resort to hiring AA’s and the results have been less than stellar. Some of the stories he has shared with me have been absolutely comical

I have an American friend who moved to Honduras 30 years ago. He tells all the Hondurans traveling up here to work that when they cross the border into the US, they will all suddenly become "Mexicans".
It pisses them off.

The employers should be arrested and fined into oblivion

Some Cubans feel the same way. The Cuban guy I knew was greatly offended if you misidentified him as a Mexican.

I can't imagine a large concrete pour without Mexicans.

ehhh, they'll figure it out.

Noticeably less illegals in Walmart.

Trumps not even giving these illegals a second chance to immigrate correctly
It’s a Juan strike rule

Apparently ICE rolled in on a residential construction site 2 days ago around Gonzales and cuffed 5 illegals and took them away to never been seen again. Have a few superintendents I know that watched it go down. Everyone in the construction industry is in a panic bc their workers are getting wiped.. any one else experiencing this??
Only five?

Should have put the owner(s) of the company in cuffs alongside with them.
