Austin, Texas housing market collapsing. Mexicans saying no work, houses not selling.
Mexican customers on the street talk | 10-20-25 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 10/20/2025 8:46:17 AM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

Where I work in Austin, I deal with a LOT of Hispanic customers, primarily Mexicans. They have been telling me for some time that there is almost no construction work available. Today, two in a very short space of time said they have no work.

Furthermore lemons, avocados, poblano peppers or other produce into the U.S. due to tariffs and are unloading tons of it on the side of rural highways for the locals to pick up for free. We are about to see major economic problems as the Trump Administration attempts to fix YEARS of problems caused by Godless Democrats.

The Democrats have created huge problems in this country having sold us out to the world for payoffs/bribes and have NOT naintained our educational system to allow Americans to be vocationally adept and not depend on foreign labor. They have supported wholeheartedly abortion so their constituents can enjoy huge amounts of sexual pleasure irresponsibly subsequently destroying several generations of workers.

The Democrat policies of destroying discipline in families and schools are creating thousands of immoral, criminal youth. I could go on and on, but you all get the picture or saw it a long time ago. Turn BACK to God NOW and pray for forgiveness and that he will help us get out of this mess.

Is this a stream of consciousness rant or the beginnings of a blog?

How does a “Name Not Given”(Illegal) get a load to buy a house while US Citizens with Real names and Real Jobs have trouble buying a house ?

In other words, Trump’s policies are making housing affordable and bringing food prices down.

When a housing market shrinks because illegals can't afford it. The 2 groups that get hit are those who already have houses and the landlords who might lose steady renters.

Those that are working and can't afford a house suddenly can, but at a reduced price.

In the long run, I see no problem here.

Don’t worry about it. It’s a truthful report the media will NOT report. It was a lot shorter than I could have made it. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.

A Cuban customer asked me a week ago if I knew of anyone wanting to rent an RV. He had three that emptied suddenly from self-deportation. They’re making money off of each other.

Where will the ‘major economic problems happen? Mexico or USA?

I can live quite well without lemons, avocados, poblano peppers from Mexico.

The Austin real estate market has tremendously high prices.

Austin also has homeless and traffic problems.

One issue with Texas is that it’s real estate market climbed way too fast. I think it’s a natural market correction.

“How does a “Name Not Given”(Illegal) get a load to buy a house while US Citizens with Real names and Real Jobs have trouble buying a house ?”

Pedro - legal
cousin Jose - illegal
both work on same construction crew

actuality Pedro $40,000/year, Jose $40,000/year

Paperwork shows Pedro $80,000/year, Jose not at all.

Families with small businesses can rotate income on paper so all qualify to buy houses eventually.
