9:26Now PlayingA three-time Trump voter and construction business owner is on camera watching his workforce collapse — not because his workers are undocumented, but because ICE enforcement has his legal workers too terrified to set foot on a job site. "They're my friends," he says. This is what the promise actually delivered.
Note: IBTimes flagged that the video does not provide independently verifiable details about the individuals involved and the claims have not been corroborated through official records. The individual appears on camera in his own words and his account is consistent with documented industry-wide labor shortages.
The Associated General Contractors of America found that 88% of contractors reported difficulty filling positions even before the current enforcement wave. Pew Research puts immigrant workers at 25% of the entire U.S. construction workforce — citizens, green card holders, visa holders included. The Federal Reserve has directly linked construction labor shortages to rising housing costs nationwide. ICE's own chilling effect isn't just hitting undocumented workers. It's hitting legal workers, it's hitting American-owned businesses, and it's hitting the housing market that working-class MAGA voters were promised would get better.
This is the extraction machine at work. Trump sold protection for American workers. What got delivered was a fear campaign so aggressive that legally authorized workers won't leave the house — leaving American contractors without crews, American projects without workers, and American housing costs without relief. The man on that video voted for it three times. The receipt doesn't care.
