To city councils across America,
You are getting developers who are coming to you wanting to build housing in your communities, citing a housing shortage and growing demand.
Please know, and I truly mean this, these are lies. The so-called "growing demand" is entirely due to immigration, and not an increase in natural births.
As someone eating immigration policy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, here is the truth.
There have been an estimated 2 million departures by illegal immigrants in 2025. At least 250,000 have left in 2026 so far.
This number does not factor in that the H-1B visa program for so-called "highly-skilled workers" is currently at a net-zero.
Layoffs, the @JobsNowPR effect, and the resulting "Return to India" movement are cancelling out at least 20,000 H-1B visas per year. This is so far, and the number is growing due to a noticeable self-deportation trend by individuals who know they did something wrong and don't want to get caught up in investigations.
This excludes the consular delays in India impacting 75% of H-1B visa holders, the thousands of visas revoked for criminal records, the tens of thousands of visas that the wonderful activists on X working on consultancies have placed in administrative processing, the close to 2,000 individuals reported for illegal landlording, and the thousands of ongoing mortgage fraud investigations.
It is for good reason that the filing dates for employment-based green cards from India in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories advanced by a year between January 2026 and June 2026, versus a one-month advancement in the same period last year. They expect to have a high rate of denials once these I-485 applications are vetted properly for the first time in decades.
The H-1B policy changes that President Trump has started since taking office are just an amuse-bouche compared to what's coming. Green card revocations and denaturalizations due to fraud are on the table. I haven't even discussed the rumored regulatory and legislative changes, because doing so would be highly speculative.
So, please tell me, why are you dead set on approving a new development that residents clearly opposed and want on the ballot in a city-wide referendum to vote no with a clear and convincing majority?
If you can get your state government on board, we can make thousands of homes available to your citizens just by looking into fraud committed by foreign nationals and getting them deported.
It's a win-win situation for everyone involved, except fraudsters.

Analysis Summary
The post makes multiple claims about immigration departures and H-1B visa impacts on housing demand, none of which are independently sourced or verified. The core argument—that housing demand growth is *entirely* due to immigration rather than natural population growth—contradicts U.S. Census data showing housing demand reflects multiple demographic drivers. The specific figures cited (2 million departures, 75% of H-1B holders affected by consular delays, EB green card timeline shifts) lack any corroborating sources and appear designed to support a predetermined policy conclusion rather than report facts. The post's framing chains unrelated immigration enforcement actions to imply a coordinated wave of departures that would reduce housing pressure, but provides no evidence this is actually occurring.
Claims Analysis (5)
“There have been an estimated 2 million departures by illegal immigrants in 2025. At least 250,000 have left in 2026 so far.”
No independent source found confirming these specific figures. Post provides no citation for the 2 million and 250k numbers. Web search returned no matching reports.
“The H-1B visa program for so-called highly-skilled workers is currently at a net-zero due to layoffs and return migration cancelling out at least 20,000 H-1B visas per year.”
No credible source found documenting H-1B program at net-zero or 20,000 annual cancellations from the described causes. The claim mixes speculation about trends with presented fact.
“Consular delays in India are impacting 75% of H-1B visa holders.”
No independent confirmation found for the 75% figure or the scope of consular delays as described. Post provides no source.
“Employment-based green card filing dates from India in EB-2 and EB-3 categories advanced by a year between January 2026 and June 2026.”
This is a specific, measurable claim about USCIS priority dates that could be verified via official USCIS Visa Bulletin data, but no independent confirmation was found in search results. The claim is testable but unverified.
“The so-called 'growing demand' for housing is entirely due to immigration, and not an increase in natural births.”
U.S. census data and demographic research show housing demand is driven by multiple factors including natural population growth, household formation, and replacement of aging stock. Even accounting for immigration, natural growth remains a significant driver. The claim's absolutist framing (entirely) contradicts established demographic patterns.
