    Unintended consequences

    With fewer construction workers available to build homes, delays in building could result in a shortage of homes and cause home prices to rise.

    Unintended but totally predictible. The USA got exactly what it voted for.

    Waging war on your workers doesn’t work? It’s like what they teach you in business school is mostly bullshit.

      They wanted to give jobs back to Americans. Hire Americans!

      Wait, the Americans aren’t showing up to work either out of fear of being arrested without a reason? Weird.
