We tried open borders + massive government subsidies (stimulus, spending floods) — and it jacked up demand while supply couldn’t keep up. Result? Housing, rent, food, energy — everything got unaffordable fast, especially in high-inflow states like CA, NY, and even parts of Texas.
Recent HUD “Worst Case Housing Needs 2025” report pins a big chunk of recent rental spikes directly on the Biden-era immigration surge: in some areas, it drove 100% of rental price growth. More people chasing the same (or slowly growing) homes = classic demand-pull inflation on shelter.
Subsidies poured cash into pockets when supply chains were broken, supercharging overall inflation and bidding wars on basics. Toothpaste’s out of the tube now — prices are sticky high, expectations adjusted, markets warped.
Putting it back in? Not easy. Deportations/enforcement might ease some ~Cutting subsidies hurts the vulnerable without instantly fixing prices
Real fix needs years: deregulate zoning to build more, boost targeted supply, manage demand carefully. No magic rewind button.
We squeezed it out — now we gotta live with the mess and work smart to squeeze some back. Thoughts? #HousingCrisis #Immigration #Affordability
Anyone who knows about Clarence Thomas dissents knows they are almost always short and sweet.
The fact that he wrote a 91 page dissent for this monstrosity of a decision on birthright shows how absolutely infuriated he is.
When we make dual citizenship illegal
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we have total travel bans from hundreds of countries
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we mass deport 30 million
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we close down all legal immigration
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we place SEVERE restrictions on visas
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we denaturalize anti-American foreigners and fraudsters
Blame Roberts and Barrett
When we criminally prosecute birth tourism and foreign surrogacy fraud
Blame Roberts and Barrett
Roberts and Barrett weaponized our Constitution against the true birthright of US Citizens. These are the consequences
"John Roberts has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
It is time for red states to lead where the Supreme Court has failed.
There are no federal birth certificates.
Texas and other states must refuse to issue them to children born to non-citizens. #txlege
Today’s Supreme Court decision is a missed opportunity to restore the original meaning of the 14th Amendment.
Birthright citizenship has become a powerful magnet for illegal immigration that will forever change our nation if left unaddressed. Automatic citizenship for children born to parents in the United States illegally or only temporarily is an absurdity that was never contemplated by our Constitution nor agreed to by the American people.
Congress must clarify that American citizenship means something and does not extend automatically to children whose parents are in this country unlawfully or temporarily. The American people and the sovereignty of our nation deserve nothing less.
The Senate should reconvene to debate the SAVE America Act and other legislation made more urgently needed by recent Supreme Court rulings.
Who’s with me?
There’s no time to waste.
So maybe we should revoke visas when a non-citizen gets pregnant.
That’s a cruel alternative.
But less cruel than what SCOTUS did to the USA’s citizens today.
I just finished reading Clarence Thomas's dissent. I encourage you to do the same. If you take the time to read Roberts's opinion and compare it to Thomas's dissent, Thomas completely outclasses Roberts. His is a step-by-step history and constitutional lessen that brilliantly and methodically unravels every aspect of Roberts's argument.
Justice Thomas: "I'm not sure that today's opinion will stand the test of time. The Citizenship Clause 'added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship.' Today's opinion devalues that citizenship."
Tragically, he's 100% right.
As a Native American I’m a little offended that the 14th Amendment didn’t grant us citizenship until Congress passed an exception for us. Meanwhile, a CCP spy can fly to Guam, drop a baby and fly home with the baby who qualifies to run for president 35 years later.
Never forget Ketanji Brown Jackson’s brain dead explanation defending Birthright Citizenship.
She basically says since you can be charged for crimes in other countries, you’re subject to their laws and have “allegiance” to them.
Somehow by this logic, illegal aliens’ children should be citizens.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With all due respect, you know you are talking about THIS Congress where the Senate can't even get the SAA passed--a bill that 90% of the country wants passed. THIS CONGRESS? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 THEY ARE A JOKE. A 🤡SHOW.
@SenateGOP@HouseGOP
@JackPosobiec@KJDJrUSA I can’t believe anyone thinks Congress will do anything. They literally still give money to the Taliban. They’re completely worthless.
The Fourteenth Amendment wasn’t written to be a floor mat to mass illegal migration.
The Supreme Court got this one wrong.
And Congress shouldn’t hide behind the courts. It should clarify the law and restore the original purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment.
I should know, family lived the history that produced this amendment.
Rep. Roy: "Today the Supreme Court manufactured out of thin air a complete abomination of a ruling by the Chief Justice suggesting that you can simply become a citizen from being born on dirt, thereby validating the abhorrent practice of baby factories.
This leaves us no choice but to do what we must do to PAUSE all immigration."
After working for 40 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1850/month.
After being in America for 40 minutes, the average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month.
And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.
The hysteria over the unsurprising resent decisions of the Roberts Court shines a light on the real problem facing America today. Of the three branches of government, we currently have an activist Judiciary, a powerful Executive, but a flat tire when it comes to the Legislative branch.
Birthright citizenship, for example, was not expected to be overturned by the Supreme Court. Congress could easily establish common sense legislation that would define more clearly the original purpose and boundaries intended by the 14th Amendment. That would, however, require John Thune to act like an American statesman rather than a RINO hack, so there is, as usual, no hope.
As long as the pansy-ass Republicans mince around the halls of Congress, we are doomed.
