The construction industry’s use of illegal labor force has been revealed by the Trump administration’s “Operation Charlotte’s Web” in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Construction has reportedly come to a near halt in Charlotte as the Trump administration’s immigration campaign remains in full swing.
Reports of stymied construction projects have flooded social media during the first week of the immigration enforcement operation.
A man who claims to be a subcontractor in the construction industry in Charlotte posted a video blasting ICE for chasing off the workers he usually encounters every day.
In other social media posts, Mexican restaurants are closing up shop since so many illegals are no longer out and about in the town. In one, an ice cream shop owner said he has told his Hispanic employees to stay home.
Another man hyperbolically complained that “no one is safe,” despite that immigration agents are only seeking lawbreaking illegals.
One man working at a Charlotte barber shop told agents he became a naturalized U.S. citizen ten years ago, but can’t say it to the agents in English.
