Immigrants can buy a home and live in it. There's nothing exploitative about that.
If a person, regardless of their background, buys a property and makes profit off of charging rent for that property, the profit is extracted from the work that other people are actually doing. They're leeching off of others. This is simple, it doesn't depend on whether the landlord is a mom & pop landlord or if it's a giant private equity firm. Every dollar someone earns that they didn't work for is a dollar someone else worked for and didn't get to keep.
