[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Housing costs will go down as Trump deports illegal immigrants.

You think illegal immigrants are taking enough housing to have been impacting the market? Really?[/quote]

For pretty much my adult life the illegal immigrant numbers have been around 11 million. Lets say for the sake of argument its true, removing ~3% of the population, or in reality 5-10% of the population if US born kids go with them would dramatically reduce the cost of housing, though it would hurt home equity. That's also excluding the millions who have asylum claims pending, or have some sort of temporary protected status which is another couple of million.[/quote]

Again, you really think there are all these people here illegally "taking up" housing from natural born Americans? Wow, one is born every minute.[/quote]

Supply and demand my friend.

Low supply=high prices.

Greater supply=affordability.

I threw out some numbers,  please explain why you think housing would be no cheaper with 10% fewer people?   We already can see this in Japan as there is excess housing supply.[/quote]

For the most part, people here illegally are living with family and friends, crammed into houses and apartments. They are not living among and by themselves - how could they without, you know, documentation?[/quote]The landlords look the other way to get the money.[/quote]

The landlords you are complaining about are mostly republicans. See the problem?[/quote]
