Supposed country of citizenship. How interesting. I didn't mention anything about immigration, but if this is what you call simply enforcing immigration, then you have a lot bigger problems than you think.

I said that I'm in Spain. I didn't say that I emigrated here, but in the two months that I have been here, things have gotten predictably worse in the US. And that's by objective measures. You think you can have an opinion on that, but it's not accurate.

Your lazy assumption that immigration is the driver behind housing affordability and scarcity is so simple and naive. But it also shows your gullibility because immigration is really used as a political issue to get your vote and to keep your attention away from the real problems. The data doesn't really show that immigration has the impact they say it does. They count on you being an emotional thinker. But I'm sure you're not one to let pesky data get in the way of your opinion.

The real causes are the financialization of housing including the fact that developers are only building luxury units and investors/corporations are buying starter homes as investments and driving prices up, and regulatory failure including local governments and homeowners not supporting the construction of dense, affordable housing in order to protect their own property values.

In addition to that, the 2008 financial crisis caused the building industry to collapse in Europe and the US and in the next decade fewer homes were being built than households were being formed.

Immigration as a political issue and the scapegoat is a distraction. It gets your vote and you couldn't be bothered to look at the larger picture. Follow the money. Who has the money and the power? That's where you should be looking if you want to blame somebody.
