What you need to know:
"Myself, being an Hispanic makes it tougher," Michael Luera, who runs a construction services firm in Ganado, Texas, told AFP.
His company, Fairfield Logistics, recently expressed interest in working on the border wall project, which has become a lightning rod for public outrage in the debate over Trump's immigration policies.
But it was not an easy choice.
"When this controversy targets all the Mexicans, that really affects me because I know that a lot of them are not bad people and come here to work hard," said Luera, himself a third-generation American of Mexican descent.
