Republicans cite Federal Reserve study to advocate for mass deportations
Trump and Republican lawmakers are citing a Dallas Federal Reserve working paper to link unauthorized immigration to housing costs. The study suggests that an influx of migrants contributed to roughly 30 percent of home price growth and 20 percent of rent increases. Trump has used these findings to justify mass deportation policies. He argues that reducing the immigrant population will restore affordability for American families. Administration officials claim that efforts to secure the border are already beginning to stabilize the housing market. However, some critics argue that using immigration as a primary explanation makes migrants a scapegoat for broader economic issues. Republican supporters continue to emphasize that increased demand from open border policies has directly priced out hardworking citizens.
