Do you honestly believe that all the roofers, framers, and gofers are legal immigrants and/or American citizens?

If ICE swooped in and made some mass arrests and deportations of these Villages construction workers, what would happen if there were no more illegals? Building would stop, communities would remain partially built, homesales would stop, your home values would plummet, your Villages dream would burst.

The slack would not be picked up by American citizens. It would be a job-killer in the community and surrounding towns.

Be careful what you wish for. It may not be what you really want.
