> Has limiting the amount of asylum seekers or people coming over the border to claim asylum crossed your mind

The number of asylum seekers is a tiny proportion of overall immigration of all types so we can basically ignore it.

Population vs housing imbalance in California is not driven by immigrants anyway. The bulk of those people are citizens born to citizens or green card holders. Even if you could stop illegal immigration and simultaneously remove all non-citizens and non-visa holders right now today... that only punts the problem down the road by less than a decade.
