I really hate when my $500K offer on a house is outbid because some caravanning asylum seeker is dropping their fat stacks on property acquisition.

I know there's a lot of anti-immigration fervor going on these days, but come on people, use some critical thinking skills. 😓

Also, the estimated number of undocumented/illegal immigrants in the US is less than half of the numbers Vance keeps throwing out in this VP debate.
I'm not anti-immigration but I don't think one should go out of their way to fly them over.
@ViciDraco You were talking about someone specific and I was generalizing. I do that.
Just think homeless people are citizens @ViciDraco

@Spoiledbrat Yes. As I said, you have valid concerns.

Accoring to a few .gov websites, in 2022 there were about 11 million and the media claim is that 10 million entered over the past 3.5 years...but I can't seem to find a 2024 reliable source - it's all BS websites

Houses in Springfield are not 500k for the average home. They had 60,000 in population and were dumped 20 thousand illegal immigrants. Use you critical thinking skills can a rural community house and additional 20 thousand people who come in a short amount of time. No apartments anywhere so rent goes up and when rent goes up the cost of owning a house goes up. And you are right hardly any illegals came across the border the last three years critically speaking .
Same here in Canada. You got people whining about immigrants being the problem, the government tries to curb immigration because they have no solutions for the housing crisis but it is an easy scapegoat.

Not like the immigrants are buying 3 bedroom homes in the GTA for 1.4 million.
So they need cheap labor? @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@Spoiledbrat We need labour of all kinds. But none of that is related to the housing issue.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No the convo just moved in that direction so I went with it.

I hate it when that happens. Like in my neighborhood, at least a half dozen people were looking at this $4 Million house, but they all got outbid by the family that mowed the lawn across the street, and they only crossed the border last week when Kamala visited.
Canada is also struggling with this. The government has given up on even trying to solve the housing crisis (because you can't with the free market) and instead have turned to turning away immigrants and foreign students.

You ask for critical thinking skills but give a completely ridiculous example that would never happen, and carry water for the current administrations number fudging.

You're not serious.

Really? You were told that's why your offer was rejected? I doubt that.

@SW-User It was sarcasm because Vance was blaming high housing cost on "illegal migrants". Hence my call for critical thinking. It's obviously not people without money and resources causing housing to be unaffordable.
Oh yeah he just lied. @ViciDraco

@ViciDraco I apologize. I didn't read it properly.
The top 3 companies buying up real estate speculation homes for rent nationwide are all from Canada.

It must be established without the immigrants.
