ICE Raids on Construction Sites? A South Texas Builder, Mario Guerrero Sounds the Alarm

Today on the Rio Grande Valley Business Journal podcast, host Naxi Lopez-Puente speaks with Mario Guerrero, CEO of the South Texas Builders Association, about what builders and contractors say they’re seeing on construction sites across the Rio Grande Valley — and how worksite enforcement activity can ripple into project delays, construction loans, timelines, and the broader local economy. Guerrero also discusses how the South Texas Builders Association formed during COVID-era disruption, what builders learned from supply-price spikes, and why workforce availability is now one of the biggest constraints in the local housing pipeline. Enforcement activity at worksites is disrupting projects, delaying housing, and risking broader economic ripple effects (loans, timelines, supply chains). 🎧 Watch, share, and subscribe for more RGV business reporting and interviews.
