Amongst all of his lies, this one made the least sense. How could they possibly increase the cost of living when they barely meet it?
i think the logic is that more people for the same amount of houses, although construction itself relies on immigrant labor, so is self correcting
I blame the zero interest rate the fed had during Covid. Now folks have locked their rate and have little incentive to sell.
As long as that’s the labor the immigrants are intending to do… Otherwise you get a situation like Canada has where IT professionals from India arrive to find they have few job prospects but still need a place to live.
He said what he needed to say to score points with the far right. This isn’t jeopardy, it’s an ad campaign. He’s nailing his target audience which happens to love it whenever anyone else gets upset by racism.
Duh
Gotta shift blame away from your handlers
Yeah, it’s the old “Get’m to fight among themselves while we steal them blind” trick.
Zero logic to Vance’s take. It’s as if they’re just claiming immigrants to be the root of all problems, because they have no real platform without someone to scapegoat.
Remember kids: these people aren’t out to help you. They’re out to get your vote so that they can make themselves and their buddies richer with both money and power. They will say anything if they think it will scare you into voting red.
Yeah but…I hate brown people. If I vote for white man, he will hurt brown people.
You’re correct, everything is the
Jews, I mean, immigrants fault.
I don’t mean to absolve corporations even a little bit, but NIMBYs are also the real culprit, too. There’s plenty of blame to go around for both.
Exactly. Lower taxes on the rich an cooperations, and it will only get worse.
No. If you lower taxes on the rich just a little more, they’ll feel they have enough money and they’ll charge less for rent, and consequently reduce inflation and stimulate the economy.
That makes sense. You should call that something, like economic flow down, or trickle finances.
I don’t know, I’m just not good with words.

1000% this!
Exactly the same in Canda
Yup. Immigration was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
It was the scapegoat for every possible problem. Same in the USA
