The proposal to build more housing clashes with the idea of expelling immigrants: one in four workers in the sector are foreigners.

Spain is facing a housing deficit of 750,000 homes, according to calculations by the Bank of Spain, which requires an estimated 700,000 additional construction workers to address. However, proposals to increase housing construction conflict with political ideas involving the expulsion of immigrants.

Data indicates that one out of every four workers currently employed in the Spanish construction sector is of foreign origin. Consequently, the industry relies heavily on immigrant labor to function and attempt to cover its existing workforce shortages.
