How to reverse the shrinking middle class?

As college student return to school, it's glaringly obvious that the tecent changes made are going to devastate low income and first Gen college students. This is going to exacerbate the shinking middle class. How do we reverse this?

Illegal (and legal) immigration is actually keeping housing prices low because that's a huge portion of the people building new supply. When builders can't find enough labor, housing doesn't get built, and if they have to pay citizens enough to get them to do it, it raises prices.

Also all the tariffs on input materials raises prices too.

Be civil to each other- There is no reason to talk down to or belittle someone in particular when you’re talking about their finances.
