I dunno. I'm sure the food licensing procedure in Seattle is excessive, but I still think people preparing food should have easy access to a sink and wash their hands regularly. I'm ok with that being a law that gets enforced.

wikipedia says there are 135 million homes in the US. So kicking out all the undocumented home owners would free up 1.2% of the housing stock. I don't think that's going to solve the housing crisis

It is wild to think how if your house got robbed in the 90s it was almost a certainty that they would take your tv and vcr. Because those items could be sold at a pawn shop for a significant amount of money.
