We all know that housing has slowed due to the economy. It’s says housing starts were down 1.5% but non college degree males down 1.3%. Would that not be job creation of .2% for that group?

I think much of this was planned to coincide with the slowing economy. Much the same as tightening H1 visas at the same time we are having layoffs in tech from AI being used in coding. The slowing economy covers this up. We likely would have seen a natural return of a lot of immigrants in a slowing economy without spending millions on ICE.
