How to Prepare for Trump's New Immigration PoliciesHow to Prepare for Trump's New Immigration Policies

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to launch mass deportations of unauthorized workers as soon as he takes office in January.

This has raised concerns for industries including construction that rely on foreign-born employees to deliver projects. The Pew Research Center estimates 26% of workers in construction are immigrants and 13% of people employed in construction are not authorized to work in the U.S. 

But even for companies that employ only documented workers, questions abound, as those that are authorized to work in the U.S. may also face scrutiny, experts say.

“I think out of all my clients, I do feel like our construction clients are the most concerned,” said Shanon Stevenson, partner at Atlanta-based law firm Fisher & Phillips. “They do worry about losing large numbers of their workforce.”
