The number of asylum seekers is a tiny proportion of overall immigration of all types so we can basically ignore it.
Population vs housing imbalance in California is not driven by immigrants anyway. The bulk of those people are citizens born to citizens or green card holders. Even if you could stop illegal immigration and simultaneously remove all non-citizens and non-visa holders right now today... that only punts the problem down the road by less than a decade.
- georgeplusplus 2y agoThe people that has crossed the border are seeking asylum and have been estimated to be in 9 million and probably has something significant to do with the 90% more hispanic population growth since it’s predominantly Latinos crossing. You don’t think that many people coming into the country has an impact on housing and rent prices?
