Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio, has recently attributed the housing crisis to Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging that she allowed 20 million illegal immigrants into the country to compete with Americans for limited housing options. Vance has connected the housing issue to illegal immigration, emphasizing the pressure it puts on the housing market due to the growing number of migrants.
Former President Donald Trump and Vance have pledged to initiate mass deportations of illegal immigrants if they win the election, potentially reducing the number of migrants vying for housing. Additionally, the Trump-Vance campaign has proposed utilizing federal lands for the development of new housing units.
During a recent event at the Economic Club of New York, Trump outlined their plan to address housing challenges by reducing regulations that contribute to 30% of new home costs. The proposal involves designating certain federal lands for large-scale housing construction, creating zones with minimal taxes and regulations to stimulate small business growth and job creation.
