As Donald Trump prepares to take office and implement one of his key campaign promises, deporting immigrants, one question that has been asked is how it could affect the housing market.
Housing of all kinds is in short supply. One of the biggest reasons is that construction of new homes fell sharply during the Great Recession and stayed depressed for years after.
Immigrants make up a significant portion of the construction labor force, and removing them en masse would cripple the industry – not to mention having devastating social and emotional consequences, experts and advocates say.
