Homebuilders say ICE enforcement is slowing Virginia construction
Homebuilders in Virginia report that intensified ICE enforcement is slowing construction activity across the state. Builders say immigration raids and fear of arrest are causing workers to stay off job sites, delaying residential projects and worsening labor shortages. The claims add to a wider debate over how stricter immigration enforcement is affecting housing supply and costs.
Why now: New immigration enforcement measures are visibly disrupting labor-dependent industries, raising concerns about housing costs.
