JD Vance says that illegal immigration is causing the housing crisis, but business insider, says JD is wrong. I say he is right.

[Mikeoxenormous]

JD Vance said migrants are the reason it's so expensive to rent or buy homes. He's wrong.

"When I talk to Americans, one of the biggest concerns I hear is, 'Why are housing costs so high?' I'll give you two reasons: First, there are 20 million illegal aliens who shouldn't be here and who are competing with Americans for scarce homes," Vance told Fox News host Sean Hannity, adding, "Second, Kamala Harris has supported higher interest rates, which makes mortgages unaffordable for most people."

If those 20 million illegals just suddenly got up and left, many places of residence would come available to live in, once you fumigated the place and put some money into the place to fix up all the wear and tear illegals are known to do where they live. And of course when Kamala Harris was the tie breaking vote for the inflation riddled "Green New Deal", interest rates went up along with the prices of the houses. Thanks all to the "Recessive" policies of Biden/Harris.

From what I've read, 22 million illegal aliens in the United States occupy roughly 6.5 million homes. This number includes mixed groups as well, and only represents about 5% of the housing market.

Many of them will stay in a single household, which I ran into when looking into an abandoned house in the late 1990s. There were about 40 of them under the same roof with mats on the floor. We were literally stepping over them to look at the house.

illegal are the labor that builds most of the new homes & restores the old homes here in the USA.

Wow. Vance is smarter than I thought, I posted the same statement today myself. Of course adding 20M above your legal immigration by the way, be they students, green card.holders or regular migration impacts prices due to scarcity. You add the money the government gives them and you suddenly have new illegals flush with cash and in need of a home.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Yea
We have not built 20 million new houses

BI is a shitlib propaganda mill.

I saw the same things. Shelves in the closets for children to sleep.

 

[1srelluc]

Estimates of just how many houses we need in the US to meet demand vary widely, from just over a million housing units to more than 5 million depending on the article you look at and if they include apartments and/or condos.

So yeah, illegals are having an impact.

 

[protectionist]

Biden dumped thousands of illegal aliens into Tampa, Florida and other Florida cities. They flooded and saturated the rental housing market.

In no time, the apartment rents skyrocketed like nothing I've ever seen in my whole lifetime ('m 78 years old). Apartments that were 6 or $700/month 3 years ago, are now $1500-$2000.

100-200% inflation. Insane.

 

[AZrailwhale]

It’s a combination of vast demand, bureaucratic roadblocks to construction and market uncertainty as well as a few other factors. Simply put, demand drives prices, scarcity increases prices, oversupply reduced them. I’m sure that in dying places like Detroit and small town rural America have very low housing prices.

So, illegals are buying/renting houses…making money for landlords, construction companies, service industries, real estate agents…

So, boosting the economy is now bad? This Vance guy…rocket scientist, he is not. Where do find these turnips? Are there any smart guys in the MAGA crowd, or is this the best there is?

No wonder you guys are always so mad. Thoughts and prayers.

EARTH TO MAGNUS: Removing Millions of $$$$ from the pockets of consumers is KILLING the economy, not boosting it. The exhorbitant rent increases may be a boost to landlords, but they are .001% of the economy.

The other 99.99% of the economy, are LOSING money, and big time. The #1 national music store chain Sam Ash Music, just went out of business (after 100 years of success).
Who goes out and buys guitars, pianos, and violins, and their rent just went up an incredible $1000/month ?

Likewise, what consumers go out and buy furniture, sporting goods, cars, jewelry, TV sets, laptops, etc, after just taking a $12,000/year loss to their purchasing power.
Get it ?

Is the housing crisis worse where there are higher concentrations of illegals?

Sure, retard. No one is stopping you from moving to Russia. Putin has a grand plan to give everyone an all-expense paid trip to Ukraine. Go for it.

So we should move out of th country, to preserve landlord gouging, that is ruining 112 million renters & 100+ Million business/owners/stockholders/employees, and wrecking the economy ?

No one is stopping you from moving out of the country either. Bon voyage.

I am not the one complaining about the country nor did my side riot when our leader lost an election.

Go to Russia, Putin is ready to give you an all-expense trip to Ukraine.

Your "side" has engaged in 574 "complaints/riots in 2020 alone, plus routinely complaining about the country, blocking traffic, occupying universities over Israel policy, etc.

Trump didnt lose an election. It was stolen.

Many Democrats bitched that the 2016 election was rigged.

I'm not complaining about the country. I simply stated that removing Millions of $$$$ from the pockets of consumers, is KILLING the economy, not boosting it.

So which is your preference ? China ? Iran? Gaza ?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Of course.

can you provide the data to support this?

 

[protectionist]

can you provide the data to support this?

Living in the place where it exists is the support. Data is notorious for being adjusted for political purposes by political liars. People who rely on data are always going to have problems assessing things.
WATCHING it happen doesnt need "data"

Conservatives are smart enough to be wary of "data". Liberals typically fall prey to it.

For those not living in cities with illegal alien housing saturation, it's not rocket science to see the unprecedented, massive influx of illegal aliens coinciding contemperaneous with skyrocketing housing rents, and an unprecedented shortage of units for rent.

Think people! Think! Use your brains.
