Get rid of 12 MILLION illegals and see how much housing is available.

Removing them might result in a short term increase but would lead to a longer term decrease in housing supply. One of the major issues with housing is a lack of inventory due to reduced building following the Great Recession. The bureau of labor statistics recently found that more than half of all construction laborers are Hispanic. They also make up about 60% of painters, 50% of landscapers, and 40% of carpenters.
Not all Hispanics construction workers are illegal immigrants of course but it’s an open secret that hiring illegal immigrants is widely tolerated in the construction industry.
