Here is an interesting housing story happening with a GOP businessman selling land for trailers and building to the undocumented outside of Houston. It is creating a very fast growing town. I had my auto glass replaced recently and the owner an Iranian immigrant was surprised his low wage workers were able to buy lots and building. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/10/04/texas-colony-ridge-immigration-developer/

The Repubs in Austin are having complete fits, harassing the community by police helicopter overflights etc. The developer who was a big donor to Gov Abbott says he will never give him another penny.

Sorry, a much better article. I have seen some nice interviews with the happy immigrant families. Probably on local tv news..Harder to find.

They're likely to be better off than where they came from, though by U.S. standards still wretched.
