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.
