PHOENIX (AP) — Some leaders in Arizona's homebuilding industry are concerned about a potential labor shortage following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold part of the state's controversial immigration law known as SB1070.

The bill's passage two years ago led thousands of illegal immigrants to pack up and leave. That was when the housing market had crashed, but now the market is recovering.

The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the provision in the law that allows police to try to determine the immigration status of people they stop or arrest if they have a reasonable suspicion that they're in the country illegally. That worries some in the homebuilding industry who fear that workers will be too fearful to show up in large numbers.

It’s a Titan II surplus silo. There are some for sale. They run about $200-400K and usually come with a respectable amount of acreage.

Mine came with 20 or 30 acres depending on who you ask.
