While speaking at the National League of Cities’ Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C. on Monday, Vice President JD Vance quickly quieted a heckler.
“You go to the United Kingdom, you go across the world and you see a very consistent relationship between a massive increase in immigration and a massive increase in housing prices, and we have to be honest about that,” Vance said.
“It’s not the immigrants!” A woman in the audience started shouting.
“I see one of our nice representatives out here wants to actually, I guess, continue to flood the country with illegal immigrants - making your communities and citizens unaffordable,” Vance replied.

“But, ma'am, with all respect, one of the reasons why we're doing what we're doing is because we want to make it more affordable for Americans to live.”
