The claim from JD Vance is that rents are dropping for the first time in 5 years, and he points to cities and towns where illegal immigration has fallen the most. Put American homes in the hands of US citizens instead of illegals, he says, and the price comes down. Scott Bessent backs the same read: more ICE surges in an area, lower rents. The through-line being pushed here is simple. More deportations, cheaper housing. Mass deportations solve everything. A fact of life at this point, apparently #JDVance
