Studies Examine Immigration's Impact on U.S. Housing and Wages
What happened
Research indicates that immigration impacts the housing market, with some regions reporting falling home prices. A report from the Brookings Institution stated that allowing millions of migrants caused rents to rise by 1.4 to 1.6 percent and reduced average wages by up to 1.5 percent. Conversely, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin argued that interior immigration enforcement helps stabilize rents and home prices across the United States.
