Based on their voting decisions, I’m not sure disdain for the intelligence of most Americans is unwarranted…

Is it disdain or is it an understanding of the intelligence level of their base?

They have such flawed logic and transparent fear-mongering tactics. Even if houses *were* available near where I live (making $135k yearly), I sure as fuck can’t afford one (average cost $530k). How would an *”illegal”* be able to? Is there a magic house fairy that I’m supposed to get in touch with?

100%…. Most of our neighborhood has gone from owner occupied to rentals over the past 20 years we have lived here. The rent is 3 times what our mortgage is for basically the same home.

So the immigrants who work low paying jobs somehow can afford the expensive houses on the market right now? And it’s totally not the companies that own 30+ houses who are to blame for the shortage?
When all this ends, Immigrants and minorities will remember how we were treated and whom supported the treatment.

Immigrants have always been a convenient scapegoat for the republicans, it’s one that never seems to get challenged by their base

Remember immigrants are freeloading, poor, uneducated leeches on the economy.
But they’re also very wealthy, educated investors that steal your job and your home.

Not just billionaires. Private equity firms.

Seemingly worked to get them elected and still running shit. Maybe it’s the stupidity that’s the problem

So once all the immigrants are gone, and there aren’t any more houses to be had because of the admin’s relationship with companies like Blackrock and AcreTrader, who will they blame next?

I want one reporter, just one, to stand up and say “show me”, and refuse to let them back down.
This is such a blatant and transparent falsehood that I can’t fucking believe anyone in the media is letting this bullshit slide.
I don’t care if they don’t get invited back. Nobody should.

The most of the “immigrants” buying up all the homes are the ones that have the money to lives elsewhere and just have a house here as a vacation/summer home. But you know what they are? Billionaires with the means to buy entire floors that sit empty for half the year.
Let’s tackle the billionaire real estate business instead of complaining about the family just trying to make ends meet.

I think the millionaires are doing a lot more of the airbnb’s than billionaires.

“Immigrants making less than minimum wage are buying all the $750,000 houses. With cash also.”

We should ban foreign investors from owning small houses domestically.

Ah yes… the illegal immigrants stealing Americans houses like they are Israeli settlers in Palestine.

In North Carolina, if it weren’t for the labor and skills and expertise of immigrant workers, we wouldn’t be building houses for the “American people” at all.

This is what most Americans think. That why they voted who they voted for. They will blame people of colour or migrants of all the stuff they do themselves

Illegals can’t get mortgages. How can they think we’re this stupid?
