Contractor liability became a question, as illegal immigrants were considered for labor pool replenishment. In a printed statement, Air Conditioning Contractors of America-Texas (ACCA-Texas) said it’s “keenly aware of the effect that laborers have in Texas, both legal and illegal in nature. Many creditable HVACR companies across the state use subcontracting firms to help with installations, and these firms may employ illegal immigrants, either on a full-time or part-time basis. As well, many companies may directly employ illegal immigrants involved in the HVACR industry here in Texas.”
