GOP vice-presidential candidate JD Vance recently aimed at the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, arguing they are pushing young Americans out of the housing market by rolling out the red carpet for illegal aliens. Vance’s comments were made during a speech in Detroit, where he highlighted the impact of what he describes as a border chaos that has contributed to skyrocketing housing costs and made homeownership nearly unattainable for millennials.
Vance elaborated on the negative effects of Biden’s open-border strategy, mentioning that the influx of millions of illegal immigrants is wreaking havoc on housing prices. In a Biden economy characterized by rampant inflation and staggering home prices, the last thing young Americans need is additional competition from those living in the country illegally. The notion that taxpayers are subsidizing these newcomers while local families are left struggling is truly alarming.

It’s hardly surprising that housing costs have surged since 2020 under full-fledged Bidenomics. According to Vance, the situation is compounded by the government’s willingness to provide benefits that help illegal aliens find housing at the expense of American citizens. He pointed out the irony of homeless veterans being overlooked while illegal aliens reportedly enjoy stays in luxurious hotels. It’s a glaring example of misplaced priorities and a government that has lost sight of its obligations to its own citizens.
Vance didn’t stop at housing, tossing some verbal grenades regarding the pressures placed on teachers and healthcare systems by the influx of newcomers. The strain on a supposedly already taxed education system is worsened when classrooms are filled with students who don’t speak English. One must wonder how teachers, trying to do their best with shrinking resources, can thrive in these circumstances. The same goes for healthcare: buses of illegal immigrants arriving with free medical care, leaving American citizens drowning in wait times at hospitals.
Citing the exorbitant costs that taxpayers are incurring—over $150 billion a year spent on illegal immigrants—Vance made a strong case for prioritizing American citizens in policy-making. He emphasized the need to put the needs of Americans first, asserting that compassion should start with those who rightfully belong in the United States. Vance’s statements resonate with growing frustration among those who feel abandoned by their government while seeing others live at their expense.
With the upcoming election, it’s clearer than ever that issues surrounding illegal immigration and its ripple effects on the housing and education sectors will remain critical talking points. It is high time to restore America First policies to ensure that citizens can secure their rightful place in their own country without being overshadowed by an influx of individuals who entered illegally.
