While speaking at an event in Pennsylvania, Vance claimed that there are “simple economics” behind why buying a home in the US has become so expensive, and his response is going viral for being...bizarre.

“Why have rents gone down for four consecutive months? We’re starting to get those illegal aliens out of the United States of America,” Vance said.

“Those criminals, those gang members, those people who are taking homes that ought by right go to the people in this room, and your children, and your grandchildren,” Vance continued, gesturing toward the crowd.

“It’s simple economics. If you have fewer people, fewer illegal aliens trying to buy homes, that means American citizens are going to finally be able to afford a home again. It’s very, very simple economics,” he said.

This person called Vance’s claim “fairy tale nonsense.”

While others described it as “lies and propaganda.”

“Are the rents that have gone down in the room with us or did they get evicted,” this person joked.
