Problem is, very few Americans are able to make the connection between the two, largely due to the biased coverage by an establishment-controlled media.
It’s funny, though, because well before the mortgage crisis I warned in this forum that getting rid of illegal aliens would trigger a decline in housing prices by removing many of the first-time buyers that allow everyone else to move up.
I didn’t anticipate the positive feedback loop where declining prices led to defaults which led to foreclosures which led to evictions which led to illegal aliens going home.
