      i think the logic is that more people for the same amount of houses, although construction itself relies on immigrant labor, so is self correcting

        As long as that’s the labor the immigrants are intending to do… Otherwise you get a situation like Canada has where IT professionals from India arrive to find they have few job prospects but still need a place to live.

    He said what he needed to say to score points with the far right. This isn’t jeopardy, it’s an ad campaign. He’s nailing his target audience which happens to love it whenever anyone else gets upset by racism.

    Remember kids: these people aren’t out to help you. They’re out to get your vote so that they can make themselves and their buddies richer with both money and power. They will say anything if they think it will scare you into voting red.
