Do people really believe that deporting immigrants will help housing prices?

Works for West Bank settlers

Too many people

Oh well you know all those migrant farmers flush with cash just buying houses.

If news keeps treating it as a plan why would they think otherwise

Yeah. People are idiots.

I haven't seen any evidence, but I'm afraid they are pushing this absurdity because it polls well with persuadable voters.

Sure, if you deport enough that have assets and own houses. And you confiscate those assets. Which is where this will end.

I mean technically speaking if you crash the economy housing prices will probably go down

Unfortunately, they seem to think "getting rid of the illegals" will do everything from lower grocery prices to curing cancer.

It's just an excuse for ethnic cleansing and for the median voter (derogatory)
