I think everyone here is aware the immigration is also a problem. That doesn't change the fact that we are in a housing shortage, regardless of immigration population.
Caused by tens of millions of illegals artificially increasing demand / decreasing supply.
Illegals aren't buying houses and are not occupying millions of houses that would otherwise be for sale.
You are arguing 2 different points between housing prices and actual inventory.
Of course they aren't buying houses.
Do you think thats the only way demand/supply is impacted?

Foreign trade is an area where you support protectionism, and I don’t agree. It is what it is
Going to answer the question I posed?

Country borders are explained by factors outside of economics. If those factors didn’t exist, country borders would be unnecessary.
With that said, the concept of comparative advantages exists without borders. It’s better if abundant California produces avocados and North Dakota fracks energy due their geography. It would be bad if North Dakota put tariffs on California avocados to protect North Dakota farmers.
Having a strong country is the most imporfsnt thing. Once the population is properly addressed from a needs perspective we can think outside.
There is only one conclusion on the path that we are on which is just one country with central planning. I’d rather avoid that and make sure America is as strong as possible and GDP isn’t the appropriate metric to evaluate that.

Come on BL/Cajun/57 - there has to be a good reason for this?
They'll have some other cockamamie narrative they'll push all the way through Trumps second (really third elected) term.
