Immigrants making almost nothing and sending everything they make (after taxes) back home and living with 10 people in a small apartment are the problem? Not Blackrock and corporate landlords buying everything on the market?

You nailed it in the first paragraph. It’s domestic politics. Cuban immigrants have a large voting bloc in a swing state.
American national politics work off of a system designed 250 years ago to maintain a balance of power between rebelling colonies trying to form a nation-state. Any amendment to the Constitution requires the agreement of either a supermajority of Congress or a supermajority of the states themselves. Neither of which are even a slight possibility in the foreseeable future.
It’s deeply ironic that the US is such a young nation, but is crippling itself based on relatively new traditions that were always designed to be changed as needed. Changing with the times was foreseen by the Founding Fathers, who are revered as gods but whose actual views are rarely analyzed in depth.
Instead, the pull toward white Christian nationalism has destroyed all the Enlightenment ideals the country was founded upon, and the freedom for each generation to choose its own path at a fundamental level, which was explicitly the Founding Fathers’ original design, has fallen victim to partisan politics.
In that case, Bernie’s executive orders would have blotted out the sun. How do courts strike down student loans being forgiven under a new legal theory every month?
I started to type out an argument that politicians should have to do x amount of time in fast food or retail before running for office, but then I realized that's a road to fascism. After months of customers yelling at you for the pink shirt not being pink enough and demanding to know why you're hiding the real pink shirts in the back, rounding people up in concentration camps is going to start to looking very reasonable.
Trump should have been knocked out in the first GOP primary debate in 2016. Everyone expected him to be laughed off the stage and for his campaign to fall apart. Instead, the other candidates took him seriously, and he was able to steamroll and bully his way through the primary. Mocking and humiliating Trump for being an unserious candidate was the winning strategy then, and it's the winning strategy now.
I love his quote on the culture wars to the effect that in Minnesota people may not make the same life choices as their neighbors, but they know how to be decent people and mind their own damn business.
Walz has a touch of Benjamin Franklin in him minus the love for the French prostitutes.
Oh no, It's the consequences of our own actions!

Just because someone is an idiot doesn’t mean they don’t stumble into a good scheme from time-to-time.
People in swing states create fake voter accounts en masse for the reward. Those fake voters all try to vote for Trump.
The game is to destabilize everything enough that a court case advances to the Supreme Court so that they can steal the election. Thousands upon thousands of fake voters helps them tremendously.
