Have you ever wondered who builds the skyscrapers 🏙️ and houses 🏠 in the United States? Many of these buildings are made by hardworking people, including immigrants who came from other countries to find a better life.
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a plan to deport many undocumented immigrants. That means people who live in the U.S. without official permission might have to leave soon.
Here’s why this matters: Lots of these immigrants work in construction. They help build schools 🏫, hospitals 🏥, and homes 🏡! If many workers leave, there might not be enough people to keep building things.
This could slow down construction projects. Buildings might take longer to finish, and it could cost more money to build new ones. This affects the economy because construction is a big part of how people earn money and build communities.
What do you think? 🧐 How would it feel if new buildings in your town were delayed? It’s important to think about how decisions can affect many people in different ways.
