"La religión pura y sin mancha delante de Dios nuestro Padre es esta: atender a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus aflicciones y conservarse limpio de la corrupción del mundo."

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Today, the US birth rate is around 1.63, the UK 1.49, France 1.62, Spain 1.12, Japan 1.15, and South Korea 0.75. Every one of these countries is below replacement (2.1). Immigration has helped slow the demographic decline the US would otherwise face.

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Fifteen million immigrants over roughly two decades is manageable for a country of more than 340 million people if the government keeps up with housing and infrastructure. The evidence points to policy failure first and immigration as one contributing factor, not the root cause.

@ApollonianRubby @vinnywin3 @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Also, this graph measures the prices of homes being sold, not the total housing supply. Home prices reflect supply and demand in a constrained market shaped by zoning, construction, interest rates, and years of underbuilding, not immigration alone.

@ApollonianRubby @vinnywin3 @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx That doesn’t mean immigration had no effect. However, it does means this graph doesn’t establish that immigration was the primary driver. At most, it suggests it contributed to demand alongside other factors.

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx “Unlimited immigration” isn’t a problem. It’s a framing. The real issue is a lack of coordinated housing and infrastructure development policy on the local, state, and national level. Both Republicans and Democrats are incompetent. Republicans just want you to blame immigrants.

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Also, the fact that someone is unlawfully present doesn’t automatically prevent them from owning property. Foreign nationals can legally own homes in the U.S., and unlawful presence by itself is a civil immigration violation, not a blanket prohibition on property ownership.

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx There’s enough housing. Supply isn’t the issue. What are you not understanding? Additionally, just because you believe Americans are more deserving of these homes doesn’t mean they truly are. You and I don’t own or control this land. Yahweh does, and the migrants can come.

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx The U.S. has about 15 million vacant homes and roughly 740,000 homeless people. The problem isn’t that we’ve run out of housing. The problem is that the vacant homes aren’t always where people need them.

[🐟🍞 🌹 ܣܘܡܩܐ @jalenb79]

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Therefore, you can’t assume an equally sized immigrant population has the same impact on housing demand as an equally sized higher-income American population.

[🐟🍞 🌹 ܣܘܡܩܐ @jalenb79]

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx Nobody is claiming immigrants create zero housing demand. The question is one of magnitude. Simply stating that immigrants need housing doesn’t prove that. That’s an empirical claim, and the burden is on you to show we’ve reached that inflection point rather than assuming it.

@MichaelNIXG 70% = 7 * 10%

500 * 10% =50

50 * 7 =350

(You can do this with any percentage.)

@HollyGrayle Black people can’t get together to rhythmically clap and chant two eighth notes followed by a quarter note? Are you fucking retarted?

[🐟🍞 🌹 ܣܘܡܩܐ @jalenb79]

@ApollonianRubby @yallstupid00 @skiidmarxx If immigrants, on average, earn less than native-born Americans, it takes more households pooling more income to buy the same home. That means their purchasing power per person is lower, not higher. They can’t collectively outbid higher-income buyers simply by existing.

@IkeNotabot @Stevie20868035 @skiidmarxx The absolute number of both immigrants and native-born Americans has increased. What hasn’t changed much is their proportion: foreign-born residents have remained roughly one-seventh of the U.S. population.

[🐟🍞 🌹 ܣܘܡܩܐ @jalenb79]

@IkeNotabot @Stevie20868035 @skiidmarxx The native-born population grew by more than twice as much, and the foreign-born share rose only from 11.1% to 13.9%.
