    Less than 7% of building materials are imported into the US and a large portion of that is likely Canadian lumber that won’t be a factor in building factories. Our biggest issue is a lack of educated and trained workforce. There are specific types of engineers that work in manufacturing and we just don’t have thousands of them sitting around waiting for work. We don’t have enough to begin with. And we certainly aren’t going to get many moving here with the way ICE is treating people.
