Crowded out
Immigrants are said to be what drives up rents and home prices, newcomers bidding for too few homes: the illegals renting homes inflate the rents, pull them out and the prices come back down; Biden-era immigration made home prices skyrocket.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
