Turns out the “fact checkers” were bullshitting.
Turns out Vance is full of shit. Vance said, “which does [emphasis added] drive up costs”. The quote he provided says, “There is a risk that strong consumer demand for services, increased immigration, and continued labor market tightness could lead to persistently high core services inflation. Given the current low inventory of affordable housing, the inflow of new immigrants to some geographic areas could result in upward pressure on rents, as additional housing supply may take time to materialize.” It’s clear from the wording in the quote that these pressures have not yet resulted in the higher prices, and that it’s a potential factor at some point in the future, rather than a current pressure.
Vance is, at best, being misleading.
“Given the current low inventory of affordable housing, the inflow of new immigrants to some geographic areas could result in upward pressure on rents.”
That is speculation that something could happen, not proof that it has already happened.
GTFO
guess who is going to be building the new housing stock? How are you gonna get that done if you kick out all the immigrants
Do you realize Americans can build things as well? Many of my relatives are union construction workers. They would love for the cheap illegal labor to disappear
So immigrants are second class citizens who should be paid less and abused more, just so you can buy housing?
That is what I love about liberals. They can’t even hide their hate of others. Only immigrants know how to use a hammer.
My family is mainly blue color jobs, carpenters, plumbers, etc. All are union and all strongly dislike illegal immigrant labor.
