You missed the point. You will end up with less employees overall, just with higher wages and benefits. That is why it will take longer for projects. During times of disasster like Katrina and others building costs go up with demand for materials, not because of a lack of labor. Companies will and are starting to staff for year round work instead of overstaff for a project and layoff once the project is done. 

1. Back up that last statement with reports.

2. That's just one component of the economy.  I posted that chart of illegal immigrant percentage of several job sectors a page or so back.  You might want to take a look at it.

All of which fall under construction aside from AG.  Companies cut back on labor all the time and do the same amount of work with less people. That is exactly what will happen at first. How long it stays that way depends on a number of factors. I dont care how much free money the goverment gets from illegals in sales tax etc. Send them back where they came from and start focusing on legal citizens. If the border wall is made up entirely of tax paying citizens Im fine with it. If that means I have to wait an extra year for a new home then so be it.
