JD Vance Blames 'Flood' of Illegal Immigrants for Housing Shortages

Donald Trump's pick for vice president, J.D. Vance, has backed up calls for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States, despite it being unclear how such a program would be achieved.

The junior senator from Ohio was chosen by Trump at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin earlier this week and used part of his speech on Wednesday to focus on immigration, a topic the GOP sees as a key plank of its general election strategy.

As part of that appearance, Vance blamed housing issues on illegal immigrants and Democrats, while also advocating for legal migration.

Vance was joined by his wife, Usha, an attorney and the daughter of Indian immigrants, whom he praised for "enriching" the country.
