There are at least 15 million illegals currently in the US. If they all left, there'd be atleast 3-4 million housing units freed up instantaneously, mostly in areas already with hard to get housing. It should be pretty obvious what that would do to housing prices.

Ah yes, the "this country is full" trope.
Also, "illegal immigrant" is the term. No human being is inherently illegal.
You seriously think each person who is here illegally is renting or owning their own unit of housing?

No, I don't. Which is why I changed 15 million into 3-4M housing units...
The country is not full. But the places with jobs have more renters than rentable units.. which is why a 2br costs $3k a month.
You got 2 out of 3 points completely wrong, and your other was a pedantic point about wording. You should probably slow down and think before discussing this subject.
