President-elect Donald Trump continues to promise a mass deportation effort when he returns to the White House, but questions remain about how such a policy would affect the Texas workforce.

Texas is offering 1,402 acres (567 hectares) of land along the border with Mexico to the incoming Trump administration to lease as part of a plan for the mass deportation of immigrants, the Texas General Land Office said on Tuesday.

Texas builders warn mass deportations of undocumented migrants could devastate the construction industry, threatening housing and infrastructure work in one of the nation's fastest-growing states.
