Vance Ties Housing Costs to Claim of '30 Million' Illegal Immigrants in Fox Interview as Fact-Checks Mount

Housing analysts say entrenched supply shortages drive prices more than recent immigration.

Overview

  • In a Hannity appearance, Vice President JD Vance said undocumented immigrants are taking homes from citizens, cited a '30 million' figure, and argued deportations are starting to show results.
  • Vance promoted a push to build roughly 5 million new homes and said the administration is working to make construction easier.
  • News outlets noted that common estimates of the undocumented population range from about 11 million to 18.6 million, far below Vance’s number.
  • Experts quoted across coverage emphasize that long-term supply constraints and regulation are central to affordability, and warn mass deportations could thin the construction workforce.
  • The interview drew praise in conservative media and ridicule elsewhere for logical gaps, and it did not touch on renewed congressional efforts to obtain additional Jeffrey Epstein files.
