I’ve love you to put up a recent Dallas FED paper which Trump is grossly misrepresenting to claim immigrants drove up housing prices by 30%. Yikes. Oh wait the total rise in housing prices under Biden was only 22% per the report which said immigration was responsible for a 6.6% rise. Yes boys and girls… 6.6/22 = 0.3!
And Trump is claiming foreign companies are making these in the USA with that alleged $17 trillion in new investments. Made up numbers? Of course.
