He is used to lying about things repeatedly for months & months until, with the help of Fox, Newsmax, & right-wing podcasters and propagandists, eventually 45% of the country believes the lie. But this has been one subject he hasn’t been able to lie through because everyone knows the truth.

There's no problem Vance won't blame on immigrants, even if he has to invent the problem himself.
A few weeks ago he was insisting immigrants lived in cramped squalor and their (white) neighbors had a right to be upset about that.
Now they're so rich they're snatching up all the good houses? OK.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
