Broken Immigration System Hurts Texas Construction Workers, Industry
The nation’s broken immigration system is creating a crisis for workers and employers in the Texas construction industry. A new study by the Workers Defense Project (WDP) and the University of Texas finds that as many as half of the Lone Star State’s construction workers may be undocumented. Says WDP Executive Director Cristina Tzintzun:
Our immigration policies are broken. They’re not working for businesses, they’re not working for our workers and they’re not working for our state.
