## Resource

How America Became Dependent on Antidepressants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbz7oZA95g4 Rents across the United States have spiked upwards of 20 percent over the last several years, and it turns out a good chunk of this may have been caused by mass migration. A new working paper from the Federal Reserve reports that large-scale illegal immigration was a possible driver to the costs of homes and rent increasing nationwide. We’ll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
