JD Vance is arguing that mass deportations would untangle a wide range of American societal issues, not just immigration. He claims the results would include lower home prices, reduced rents, and less violent crime across the country. His exact words were: "A lot of the problems that exist in American society would be solved just by deporting illegal aliens." While there is evidence connecting immigration to increased demand pressure on housing, economists dispute his assertion that it is a primary cause of US housing affordability struggles. I have never encountered someone frame deportation as a direct solution for both housing and crime policy quite so explicitly.
