3.5% is a lot of pressure on housing --which is quite inelastic in demand but also very slow to respond to increased demand.

Furthermore those 3.5% are not divided randomly.

On the lowest rung of society, they're at least 50%. The higher you go the lower the percentage, and it drops off pretty fast.

Sorry, I'm confused by your statement, are you saying "at least" 50% of the lower class are immigrants?

No, I mean when it comes to the lowest of the low jobs, like hotel maid in terribly run bad hotel or garbage man, illegal immigrants represent almost a majority.

I don't have exact figures so I'm using 50% like "about half". I suspect though that it's only about half because some of them managed to legalize themselves, and in reality in these very bad jobs there's actually even more than that.
