Many Immigrants Struggling As Construction Jobs Vanish – Florida
Tagged: citizenship, Florida
Construction workers of all ethnicities are hurting during the housing slump, but Hispanic workers appear to be suffering more than most. In recent years, Hispanic immigrants flooded into the construction industry to capitalize on the housing boom. Some, like De La Rosa, are U.S. citizens, speak at least a little English, and thus might find work in other industries. But those here illegally have fewer work prospects.
Citizenship hardly mattered in the good times, immigrant laborers and advocates interviewed said. Contractors needed so many workers they sometimes overlooked an immigrants’ legal status or didn’t verify immigration documents.”*
