So-called “policy experts” at the libertarian Cato Institute, known for its defense of open borders, are admitting that Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) is correct when he says “immigration increases housing prices” for Americans.
“We don’t want to blame immigrants for higher housing prices, but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does drive up costs,” Vance said at Tuesday evening’s vice presidential debate:
Twenty-five million illegal aliens competing with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most significant drivers of home prices in the country. It’s why we have massive increases in home prices that have happened right alongside massive increases in illegal alien populations under Kamala Harris’s leadership. [Emphasis added]
On Wednesday, the Cato Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh published a piece titled “JD Vance Is Correct: Immigration Increases Housing Prices, and That’s Okay” where the libertarian admits high levels of immigration drive up housing prices.
