Define easier. With whose capital would you like to build more houses with?

The people coming over the border are doing so to escape poverty and harsh conditions from their respective country. I don’t think telling them to go buy a new house is gonna work at current US prices, and if you want the government to provide these new houses, then you really need to consider what the effect would be on inflation housing 9 million people at the current housing market would be.

It doesn’t have to be the people crossing the border buying the new housing for it to have an effect.
