Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration affects everyone in Nevada. Citizens and legal immigrants have to deal with competition for jobs, housing, and services. This drives the price of everything up. It is estimated as of 2023, the total number of illegal aliens in Nevada rose to 428,000 illegal aliens and their children “imported” by the current federal administration into Clark County alone. What is the effect of this?
Several hundred thousand new people coming into mostly Clark County who need housing have caused inflation in housing and in every other area of the economy. Again, economics 101, more people with more dollars chasing the same products and services drives up prices.
The average 3-bedroom rental cost $1,500 in 2021, before Joe Biden became president. Now the average 3-bedroom rental goes for $2,000, a 33% price increase. According to Nevada state government data, there were only 29,074 low-income housing units in Nevada in 2019. That number only rose to 31,334 in 2022. Keep in mind it can take five years of zoning and planning to build new rental units.
Along with groceries going up by 33% and gas prices doubling, Nevadans are hurting. Now you know why Gov. Lombardo has been pushing the BLM to release more land to build housing recently.
But wait, it gets worse. The Clark County government has an entire website dedicated to helping illegal aliens get welfare and pay for housing. The county website even has resources to help illegal aliens fight evictions.
Written right on top of the website page:
“Below is a compilation of Clark County Social Service programs accessible regardless of legal U.S residency status. These programs extend assistance to undocumented individuals. Applicants need to possess government-issued identification; in specific instances, identification cards from their country of origin are acceptable.”
And you are paying for this. The socialists in the legislature are fine with spending your money on illegal aliens for the sake of the God of Equity.
Brad will fight to change this and return Nevada to the citizens and lawful residents of Nevada.
