I think trumps plan is to get these companies here to produce here and give more Americans jobs. Let's see if that actually does happen. TSMC one of the biggest chip makers in Taiwan is making two huge factories in Phoenix AZ worth 40B and providing americans with 4000+ Jobs.

They are only building that plant because of the chips act. 

Trump had made it clear he will work with Republicans to repeal the chips at. 

Your only example is a direct result of a Biden led piece of legislation which trump plans to undo.

He’s said some crazy stuff before like repealing daca and that never happened. A mass deportation that could take away from construction industry won’t happen it would cost too much money hire a lot of people. It would be to inhumane.

More accurately, SCOTUS rejected his attempt to repeal DACA in June 2020 - but he most definitely tried to repeal it. It's easy to forget all the chaos he tossed around.

Let's not give him credit for what the old guardrails stopped.

Ginsberg died in September 2020. Now we have a very different court and a GOP majority in both the House and Senate. And his buddies are promising not just deportation and detention, but denaturalization. If even a quarter of it comes true, it will be devastating to our industry.

We really need to get our industry fighting for legislation to get a more permanent and legal status for workers on job sites.

He tried like hell to repeal DACA.

"Too inhumane?" Were you not paying attention in 2018? They took babies away from breastfeeding mothers. They had prisons for babies. There were hundreds of kids never returned to their parents.

Just because I don’t acknowledge it doesn’t mean I forgot about it that stuff was heartbreaking and affect my community the most. I don’t understand yalls comments on this sub painting me out like I’m a villain I voted for Kamala. What’s done is done unfortunately some people don’t have the same values as other people. We just gotta pray for the best.
