Construction firms hoping Trump will give them a 'wink and a nod' so they can hire immigrants to rebuild Houston

While President Donald Trump is threatening children of immigrants that were brought to the U.S. illegally, Texas is beginning to cleanup after Hurricane Harvey destroyed Houston.

There are more than 200,000 homes that were damaged by Harvey. It includes 13,500 that were completely destroyed. According to a Washington Post report, the need to rebuild quickly might come down to labor provided by undocumented immigrants.

“If they deport all of us, who will rebuild?” Samuel Enríquez said. The 36-year-old was standing in the parking lot of a Home Depot searching for work. “We do more for less.”

Despite the hostilities, he decided Texas was the place to be for work given the need. If Trump intends to continue the record-setting deportations, it might raise the price of rebuilding the Gulf Coast. At the same time, Trump is demanding a fix to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), but only if his border wall is funded. Funding such a massive infrastructure project would pull funding from not only roads and bridges but from Houston too.
