I’m still trying to figure out how immigrants undercutting our wages are also somehow driving up home prices…

They accept lower wages than us so they can buy houses we can’t afford? 😵‍💫

It’s one thing when the lies make sense, but how does no one come at a guy when his lies don’t make sense?

Supply and demand. If there are less houses available and a higher demand for them land lords can charge more in rent. 

In terms of home ownership I don’t think there is too much by illegal immigrants as they likely wouldn’t be able to buy houses either.

Completely ignoring the fact that immigrants have nothing to do with it. What's driving up housing costs is allowing foreign investors to consistently buy up properties to rent them out, causing market prices to continue to go up because they can outbid a family 100,000 dollars over market value causing neighboring market value to go up in the process. As Walz said their being treated like a commodity.

But they want to keep you hating the brown people cause its an easier scapegoat than trying to solve the real problem, its all they have.

I don’t disagree and also think that’s is the major factor. The comment I responded to said they are still trying to figure out what illegal immigrants have to due with it. So that’s why I responded with that
