Construction delays are being reported in South Texas due to increased immigration enforcement. Builders in the area claim that this enforcement is driving up building costs and exacerbating a labor shortage. The South Texas Builders Association has noted that immigration enforcement activity has recently intensified, affecting construction workers.

This has resulted in delays at construction sites across the Rio Grande Valley. Further details on the impact of immigration enforcement on the construction industry are available from local news sources, including ValleyCentral, which has spoken to industry leaders about the issue.
