The immigration crisis caused by the US president's policies is raising the costs that average Americans and their grown children must pay for housing.

The brutal wave of migration keeps the housing costs sky high, which is a complaint voiced foremost by investors, but also by ordinary citizens. All of this is a direct consequence of US President Joe Biden and his migration policy, people believe. The Wall Street Journal reports that rising immigration is preventing housing purchase prices and rents from falling, which is especially painful for people in the midst of an inflation crisis.

According to some surveys, a one per cent increase in migration means an average three per cent increase in housing costs.

In Columbia, Tennessee, the situation has deteriorated to such an extent that tenants are organizing after rents have skyrocketed in recent years, causing more and more people to become homeless, reports Breitbart, which reviewed a USAToday.com article.

This process ensures that migrants and their children receive the economic opportunities of urban life that would otherwise go to the children of Americans, says pro-immigration academic Leah Boustan.

„What’s more, no matter which country their parents came from, children of immigrants are more likely than the children of the U.S.-born to surpass their parents’ incomes when they are adults,”
