GOP vice-presidential candidate JD Vance says that the illegal alien floods welcomed in by the Biden-Harris administration are crowding young Americans out of the tight housing market.
In a recent speech in Detroit, Vance slammed the crisis created by Joe Biden and "border czar" Kamala Harris. "One of the biggest drivers in housing costs, one of the biggest reasons young people can't afford to buy a home, we have let in millions of people who don't have any right to be here. It's a big driver of housing costs," he said.
Housing prices have gone up dramatically just since 2020, thanks to Bidenomics, and with the massive influx of illegal aliens being housed at government (taxpayer) expense, it’s no wonder younger Americans are not able to buy homes.
"When you let 25 million people into the country, you have to house them somewhere," Vance continued. "We have veterans living on the streets. We have illegal aliens living in first-class hotels across our country. When you do that... American citizens can't afford a house in their own country."
Government pays more, and then housing prices are jacked up. When I lived in a Virginia apartment in 2022, my rent went up more than $400 in one jump in an area that was largely housing migrants.
