I live in California too. And it wasn't stolen. It was fought for. We won. They lost. That's how the world works. You, and they, need to get the fock over it. They have no more right to be here than I have a right to be in Mexico. GTFOOH with that buIIshit.

Lots of people from around the world want to come here. Just because you're within walking distance doesn't give you the right to be here. People willing to break our laws as a first step into the country absolutely do not deserve to be here and we are a stronger country without them. Illegal immigration is a drain on society and huge negative to the country. Despite your personal savings on labor costs. And apparently, its only inevitable when you have people in office who want to facilitate it.

Those who can, do.

Its absolutely true. We, as a country, gain nothing from illegal immigration that we cant gain through legal immigration without all of the negatives associated with illegals. Illegal immigration is a net negative.

There is no positive to illegal immigration. None.

Nice birdie! That one gave me some trouble.

Does he start threads with one premise, then, when said premise is destroyed, move the goalposts? Then engage in circular arguments until eventually resulting to making sh!t up about what another geek said or obviously meant?

Of course it does. First time home buyers buy in less expensive neighborhoods. They then gain equity in those properties and, very often, sell those homes and move to better, more expensive neighborhoods. Which drives prices up in those neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the less expensive neighborhoods they left, become increasingly inhabited by illegals and other lower income individuals, through section 8 and other programs and the neighborhood goes to sh!t. Which drives property values down because nobody wants to live there. You're trying too hard to not understand the obvious.

You like making sh!t up? Have fun with that.

Yes, you did. Its right there for everybody to see. I told you why/how 30 million illegals occupying available housing would drive prices up. You then pivoted to "primary driver." Prices fall when supply outweighs demand. Prices rise when demand outweighs supply. Removing illegals who occupy existing supply increases supply thereby reducing demand pressure, for a time. And, as a result, lowers prices, allowing new home buyers to enter the market. Builders don't build new homes in an area where supply outweighs demand so prices in those areas will increase over time as the available supply diminishes.

Buyer's market.

I told you why illegals impact real estate prices. You moved the goalposts to "primary driver." And once again, the primary driver of real estate prices is supply vs demand. When you have 30 million people occupying available housing, it drives prices up. When you remove those people, thereby freeing up that inventory, it would stand to reason that prices would come down, at least in the short term. Also, by freeing up that inventory, it lowers the demand for new construction because the supply outweighs the demand. So the impact of removing illegals who work in construction isn't a concern. It also opens the door for legal citizens to obtain those jobs, thus lowering the unemployment rate.

Even if you put 30 of them in a home, that's a million homes off the market. Thats going to impact prices.

"Illegal Immigration and the Impact on National Home Prices" I didn't see the words "primary driver" in your thread title. However, the primary driver of real estate prices is supply vs demand and I just explained why 10's of millions of people, taking up existing real estate inventory, would increase the price of the remaining inventory.

I fail to see how 10's of millions of people, taking up existing housing inventory, would not have an impact on housing prices. Fewer available homes drives prices up. Its not rocket surgery.

Looking forward to a lazy Saturday. Heading to the barbershop for a beer and a trim. Might go to a party at a friend's house this afternoon, might not. Might do some yard work, might not. Definitely throwing a tri-tip on the Traeger later.

It took me a while too.

Meh. I'm not hypersensitive about such things.

Thats how I took your post. I was agreeing with your point.
