U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance is arguing that “20 million illegal aliens” are preventing Americans from being able to access affordable homeownership.

The Ohio Republican’s comments came on X (formerly Twitter) as a response to remarks by financial writer James Surowiecki, who was responding to a tweet by the account “@jackunheard” that complained, “I’m so sick of this administration. I’m 23 years old. I’m ready to buy a house and start putting my roots down, but I have to stick to renting because the house market is ridiculous. Vote for the convicted felon. This s*** is getting old.”

Surowiecki’s response to @jacunheard was: “How will Trump’s policies make it easier for this guy to buy a house? He has no answer. (Literally – I asked.) It’s just “Mortgage rates were low under Trump, and they’re higher under Biden, therefore Trump will bring mortgage rates down.” It’s magical thinking.”

Vance, who has been cited in some media reporters as a potentially running mate to Trump in this year’s presidential election, picked up on Suorwiecki’s tweet by stating: “Not having 20 million illegal aliens who need to be housed (often at public expense) will absolutely make housing more affordable for American citizens. But I see the left’s strategy of making fun of people for suffering under Biden policies continues apace.”

Surowiecki responded to Vance by tweeting, “How are you planning to find and deport these ‘20 million illegal aliens’?” The senator did not immediately answer the question.
