Following South Korea’s lead, I can see tremendous value in such a move.

Uh, I’m calling straight up BULLSHIT on JD Vance!
30M illegal immigrants who somehow can get a bank to finance all those homes that American’s can’t get?
This is so absurd that whenever Vance makes a statement, everyone should just laugh in his face. Media too!

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."

Pretty bad when you're afraid of your constituents because of your undemocratic policies 🤨
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
