It\u2019s a short-term solution, but it\u2019s going to be long term problems,\u201d Mullin said at the National Governors Association meeting last week, citing conversations with labor and industry groups to find solutions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            His remarks at the gathering, where he also called for changes to employment visa programs to address worker shortages, sparked fierce pushback from influential MAGA voices. \u201cI am so fed up with Markwayne Mullin,\u201d far-right Trump ally Laura Loomer wrote on X.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Hours after the event, Mullin posted on X: \u201cNO amnesty for illegal aliens.

Period.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the episode underscored the delicate balance for Trump of pressing ahead with mass deportations \u2014 including, for example, construction workers \u2014 while trying to fulfill other promises like lowering housing prices.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe ran on creating more housing supply,\u201d said Jim Tobin, president and CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, one of the country\u2019s largest trade organizations. \u201cThese two things might be working against each other at the moment. But we continue to make our case.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump officials haven\u2019t offered any assurances in return, Tobin said, other than a commitment to immigration enforcement.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Asked by CNN to respond, a Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement: \u201cIf people want to come to our country to work, they need to do that by coming here the legal way.

But for more than a year, the nation\u2019s homebuilders have told administration officials that their immigration policies keep that from happening.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The residential construction industry is short between 200,000 and 400,000 workers, Tobin said. That comes after decades of underinvestment in skilled trades and technical jobs, all while older workers weren\u2019t backfilled by younger Americans. The result: foreign-born workers fill the gaps.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Foreign-born workers made up more than a quarter of the construction workforce in 2024, a record high, according to NAHB data. The share is even higher among certain trades: more than half of drywall and ceiling installers, plasterers, roofers, painters and flooring installers are immigrants.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s immigration agenda wasn\u2019t a surprise, Tobin said. But that hasn\u2019t stopped builders from pointing out tensions with other policy goals. The cost of building, and ultimately selling, a home depends on land prices, supply chains and materials costs \u2014 and having enough labor to keep the job moving.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe more we squeeze labor, the more we\u2019re going to increase home prices,\u201d Tobin said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The construction industry is grappling with multiple immigration enforcement actions, including the expiration of TPS.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s been chaotic,\u201d Associated Builders and Contractors president and CEO Michael Bellaman told CNN. \u201cWhen employers have people who have been here a number of years, like a couple decades, and they\u2019ve been productive, they know them well and want to do right by them, but options are limited.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Homes under construction in Cypress, Texas, on August 3.\" class=\"wp-image-9058\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/61249093793673c598bcd83140377fa4.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/61249093793673c598bcd83140377fa4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/61249093793673c598bcd83140377fa4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Homes under construction in Cypress, Texas, on August 3.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Mark Felix\/Bloomberg\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Tobin and Bellaman said their organizations have raised the issue with the White House, and at Labor and DHS. <em>Homebuilders from across the country<\/em> also visited Capitol Hill during a recent conference, also visited Capitol Hill during a recent conference, Tobin said. Much of their frustration stems from going days without crews showing up, since they fear their sites will be raided next.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe hear from our members routinely, and it seems like over the last couple of months, those voices have become louder,\u201d Tobin said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One of the key issues for general contractors is the administration\u2019s approach to people who have temporary permissions to live and work in the US, including those who are beneficiaries of TPS or seeking asylum, according to Brian Turmail, vice president of Association &amp; Industry Image at Associated General Contractors of America.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Employers will ensure that their workforce is in status one week and then, the next week, learn that they lost their permissions because they were stripped by the administration, he said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAll of these enforcement activities are happening at a time where there\u2019s at least one segment of the industry going full gas and it\u2019s hard to find labor and we don\u2019t have a good pipeline to replace the labor that we currently have,\u201d Turmail said, citing the demand for data centers.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Republicans divided over solutions\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Some Republicans viewed the dramatic drop in unlawful crossings at the US southern border as an opportunity to introduce legislation solving for the workforce challenges faced by agriculture, which has struggled to get access to worker visas for sectors that need labor year around.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a  to the secretaries of Labor, State, and Homeland Security, GOP lawmakers raised concerns regarding the H-2A agricultural guest worker program, which allows foreign nationals to fill seasonal jobs, and urged action to \u201caddress growing processing delays, regulatory imbalances, and structural barriers that are threatening the program\u2019s effectiveness for agricultural producers across the United States.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Among the signers was House Committee on Agriculture Chairman G.T. Thompson, a Pennsylvania Republican, who introduced a farm bill that proposes a path to temporary legal status for some undocumented farmworkers.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cFixing the H-2A program is the missing piece and necessary for broader enforcement to be effective,\u201d a House agriculture committee aide told CNN. \u201cWe can\u2019t be constantly balancing protecting our laws and protecting our food security.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe don\u2019t want there to be a bullseye on agriculture\u2019s back. That\u2019s the position ag is in right now because they don\u2019t have a legal alternative to step in and fill in the void,\u201d the aide said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The bill, however, sparked backlash from immigration hawks in the GOP, including the House Freedom Caucus.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Trump has previously acknowledged the challenges in the agriculture industry and the administration has tried to make some inroads to extend the program to sectors who have been unable to access H-2A visas, like dairy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe biggest thing with dairy and what\u2019s unique with dairy is cows have to be milked 365 days a year and multiple shifts during the day\u2026 If workers were to disappear, those cows still need to be milked. You have to be able to move the milk. There are animal concerns, there are economic concerns,\u201d Trey Forsyth, vice president of government and regulatory affairs at the National Milk Producers Federation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt affects access to dairy products, and cost of dairy products flows all the way through the supply chain to consumers\u201d Forysth said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=9015\">Blanche set to lead a Justice Department shaped to serve Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Rachel Siegel contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry groups ranging from construction to agriculture are raising concerns with the Trump administration over its ongoing immigration crackdown, arguing it is undercutting President Donald Trump\u2019s agenda and weakening the economy, according to multiple groups who spoke with CNN and sources close to the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
