Alabama builders rethink deportations as raids disappear hundreds of their ‘God-fearing, family-oriented’ immigrant workers

In Alabama, builders are advocating for a work visa for law-abiding undocumented immigrants as recent deportation raids have left them short-staffed. This shift highlights the importance of immigrant workers who contribute significantly to the construction industry and are often described as 'God-fearing' and 'family-oriented.' By rethinking their approach to immigration, builders are recognizing the value these workers bring to their communities and the economy, making a case for more inclusive policies that support both workers and businesses.
