7:45Now PlayingCongress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with veto-proof margins.
Trump called it a "big yawn," refused to sign it to pressure the Senate on the SAVE America Act, and watched it become law at midnight anyway.
Meanwhile the same administration is squeezing the immigrant labor force that makes up 26.3% of construction overall — and over half of drywallers, roofers, and painters. You do not get more houses by removing the people who build them.
