More than a year since Trump flipped the traditionally Democratic Rio Grande Valley, his deportation agenda is running headlong into the region’s workforce.
While the construction industry is the most directly affected, other parts of the Rio Grande Valley’s economy are also feeling the pinch from fewer workers and stalled projects.
Mario Guerrero, executive director of a builders association, described the immigration arrests and the worker shortage as the knockout “punch” that could end some livelihoods.
He also said he’s not alone in his “disappointment” with the president’s immigration enforcement. And he thinks that sentiment is setting an ominous tone for GOP prospects in the region, both in the midterms and beyond.
“I can guarantee you, the Valley will never be red again. At least not anytime soon.”

House builders have become accustomed to paying low wages and making great profits. Nothing lasts forever. Builders need to adapt. Crying is not going to solve the issue.
You reap what you sow. 🖕🏽
FUCK Illegal aliens; FUCK whining Democrats; FUCK all the cheapskate building contractors in the Rio Grand Delta...
Stop your bitching and moaning cause you created your problem by hiring illegals in the first place which is against the law. Now you’re crying cause you voted for Trump when all along he said he was going to stop illegal immigration. Cheap labor is not your gravy train anymore so figure it out with legal workers.
Voting for Dementia Don once might be understandable. But, ALL times? You have issues. Get professional counseling.
It's hard to sympathize with idiots who voted for Trump. Fuck 'em all, they're on my shitlist, fuck 'em all.
Trump flipped the Valley because a vigorless and incompetent Texas Democratic state chairman Gilbert Hinojosa, Gina's father, ran the Democratic party to the ground. I hope she learned from his mistakes and we're not getting Gilbert 2.0.
Who cares about Politics, the Rio Grande Valley needs a new Baseball ⚾ team. Rio Grande Valley Whitewings and Edinburg Roadrunners died. Time for the Resurrection of Rio Grande Valley baseball ⚾
Here is that Mofo on MS NOW still kissing Orange Cheeto’s arse on how successful he was in construction.
Actually, Orange Cheeto had 6 bankruptcies and working on # 7 bankrupting America.
This MOFO is finding what FAFO means when you make a deal with the devil.

You are sick of Trump. Me too.
Bring RGV Baseball ⚾ back!
El Borracho...San Benito is a CESSPOOL of welfare cockroaches and YOU are one of the cockroaches!
Muchas Gracias, better a cockroach than a Maga Idiota.
Cry me a river while playing the world's smallest violin. Any business that profited over hiring illegal aliens profited over indentured servitude and needs to be held accountable. Business owners criminally prosecuted, and assets forfeited and liquidated.
It's not about Republican o Democrats/Red o Blue, it's about Fair Labor. Pay Legal Americans over $20/hr for these types of jobs and and believe they will work.
Construction, Agricultural & Farming, Hospitality and any other businesses that used illegals made Millions of Dollars. Since these companies hire illegals they don't have to pay overtime so all the forsaken illegals work +16 hour days.
Montoya, if you advocate or give voice to these types of business behaviors than indeed You and Your blog are PRO-SLAVERY!
Touchet! Suck on those sweaty balls MAGA bitch......
