1/🚧 With so much at stake this election, Texas’s construction industry is at a tipping point 🚧

[Texas Immigration Law Council @tx_ilc]

3/ Last year alone, undocumented workers in Texas contributed $4.9 billion in taxes, fueling growth across the state. Their role in Texas’s success is critical, and without them, the economic fallout could be severe. #Immigration #EconomicImpact
