A new Federal Reserve working paper found the record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden administration triggered higher home prices and rents.
The findings arrive as immigration remains a polarizing political issue. Republicans argue former President Joe Biden’s border policies strained housing and public resources, while Democrats say immigration helped ease labor shortages and supported economic growth.
The paper, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, combines immigration court records with government administrative data to measure how the unprecedented wave of illegal immigration between 2021 and 2024 affected local labor and housing markets.

This information can be used in a great political ad against home grown commies - and brain-dead democrats who who don’t understand illegals beyond ‘more democrat votes’.
Rises in:
Home prices
Rents
Murders

I’m starting to think maybe open borders isn’t such a good idea
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Sending all the people home and telling them they don’t need to work, here’s a wad of government money to pay for your daily life, here’s a wad of money for your business that’s shut down, here’s a wad of money for anything Covid related, might also have a little to do with this.
Biden was a political animal with no common or practical sense but totally ate up with himself: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4JlCYnL3mz/?hl=en
He should go down in history as a fool.
Immigration
Covid
Ukraine war
Corrupt (not saying he broke any laws, but he was for sale)
Foolish men in power have consequences.
It was Bidenskyyyyyy and his third world Woke Salad Kammie banana and pineapple girl who screwed up the American economy.
The paper says that the average house price increase was 22.4% and 30% of that, or 6.6%, was caused by the wave of illegals.

Further increasing the demand for housing is more people living alone,and due in part to the dissolution of family life. The remainder of the increase was also due to leftist policies, specifically housing supply restrictions caused by low-density zoning, environmental regulations, the capital gains tax on sellers, and the war on landlords.
Not to mention groceries, gasoline, homes, education, jobs, healthcare, and every other damn thing that falls out of the gringos’ big pinata.
You cannot flood local housing markets with millions of people and expect prices not to rise.
Now the Fed is confirming what common se
Wow! Really? Nobody saw it coming , and it’s such a surprise .... Jesus come now because peak stupid has arrived
What kills me is realtors… They knew it, they went along with and they’re part of the problem. Now they act like…Whaat? Realtors have been scum since birth
Biden’s responsible for real estate going up 30%?
Well thank you Joe. I own a bunch of homes and sure enough the value on all of them went way up during your term. You’re a corrupt baastud as is your family, but at least you put serious coin in my pocket.
Especially when you consider the high expenses in kicking their illegal butts out of the USA. That helped lead to higher inflation because the gov’t can’t stay within budget. So we have huge rises in costs for everything because Biden couldn’t zip his barn doors.
