As Americans head to the polls today, immigration is top of mind for many. Recent polling shows 45% say immigration is a top issue facing our country, according to AP-NORC, and 62% of Americans believe mass deportations are hurting the country’s economy, reports AZ Mirror.

One of the regions expected to swing away from President Trump is the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, hard hit by ICE enforcement, reports the NYTimes' The Daily Podcast. Mario Guerrero, CEO of ABIC partner the South Texas Builders Association, is featured:

“Immigrant workers are a critical part of what makes this the greatest economy in the world," said Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 with 60,000 members earlier this year
