Across America, working families are being priced out of neighborhoods they grew up in because millions of illegal migrants are flooding local housing markets, often subsidized by taxpayer-funded programs that native citizens can’t access. In cities like Chicago, New York, and Denver, entire hotels and apartment complexes have been converted into migrant shelters, removing thousands of units from the private market while local rents skyrocket 20–40% in a single year. When demand explodes and supply vanishes overnight, basic economics does the rest: a family of four earning $60,000 suddenly competes with NGO-placed migrants for the same two-bedroom apartment, and landlords happily raise rents knowing someone will pay.

Every illegal alien reported and removed is one less person bidding up your rent, one less family on a decade-long Section 8 waitlist leapfrogged by recent arrivals, one more apartment or home that stays available for Americans. ICE removals directly free up housing stock: in 2024 alone, deportations under the previous administration correlated with measurable rent stabilization in high-migration states. The 866-DHS-2-ICE tip line is anonymous, fast, and effective; agents follow up on workplaces, addresses, and known gathering spots. It’s not about hate; it’s about simple arithmetic: fewer illegal occupants equals lower demand equals lower prices.

Your one call can stop a landlord from renting to an illegal household at inflated rates, can prevent another shelter takeover of an apartment building, and can keep the American Dream from becoming permanently out of reach for your kids. Affordable housing won’t return through more government programs; it returns when the artificial surge in demand is reversed. Pick up the phone, report what you see, and watch the market start working for citizens again. 866-DHS-2-ICE. One minute of courage for years of lower rent.
