Debate on Immigration and Economic Impact

A lot of the problems that exist in American society would be

solved, not all of

them, but just by deporting illegal aliens.

So lower housing prices, lower rents, lower, uh,

violent crime statistics. One of the reasons why we have a

historically low murder

rate is, of course, because we've been supporting law

enforcement, but also because

we've gotten a lot of violent criminals out of the United States of America.

But I remember that interview, Vince, because what, what Lulu said is, "Well,

there's no economic evidence to support that deporting a lot of

people who are competing against Americans for homes would lower the cost of

homes." I'm like, well, it's basic supply and demand.

Second of all, there actually was a lot of economic evidence both in

England and in

the United States. Like our own Federal Reserve had done an

economic

analysis and said, "Well, if you get rid of all these people who

are competing

against Americans for homes-

Yeah

... then it's going to cause home prices to go

down." Also, by the way, if you

deport a lot of people who are competing against Americans for jobs,

it's gonna

raise wages for middle class Americans.

Both of those things are obviously a consequence of supply

and demand, but it's

interesting to me... I'm always fascinated by just the mindset

and the

psychology of the people who lord over us, and the fact

that you don't see an association between dropping a

million illegal aliens into a state and the upward pressure that would put on

home prices, you have to be economically blind to not

see that.

Unfortunately, that's true of a lot of our leadership.

Yeah, that's for sure. It's just an amazing thing.
