Republican Vice Presidential Candidate JD Vance recently delivered a decisive response when asked by a reporter about former President Donald Trump’s promise to deport illegal immigrants. As the country has seen millions of illegal immigrants pour over the southern border under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, the Trump-Vance campaign has vowed to correct course by strengthening border security and deporting those who have come here unlawfully.
During a recent campaign event, Vance was asked by a reporter to provide clarity as to what it would look like for Trump to execute “mass deportations,” as outlined in his agenda. Vance explained how the plan is actually simplistic, initially seeking to stop the unfettered inflow of illegal immigrants through the southern border with Mexico.
Vance began, “I think it’s very simple. Actually, the first thing that you have to do, and the first ;thing that President Trump will do, is stop the massive inflow of illegal aliens in the first place. You gotta stop the bleeding before you can actually fix the problem here. And we still have 1000s of people coming across the border illegal every single day.”
The Ohio senator then added that the administration would pursue deportations as the construction of the border wall would continue. “So the first thing you do, you reimplement deportations, you finish construction of the border wall, and you stop proposing mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. That solves the majority of the border problem. On day one, President Trump already did it, and he will certainly do it again,” he said.
“Now to your point about what do you do with the people who are already here,” Vance said, addressing another point. He outlined that deportations of illegal immigrants would start with those who pose a danger to society, such as those who have committed violent crimes. Vance emphasized that the administration seeks to send a message of “pack your bags” to those participating in the “invasion” of America.
“I think it’s important that we send a message that if you have come to this country illegally, if you plowed into an innocent mom and her daughter and they lost their lives because of your actions. The message from the Trump administration is simple, pack your bags, because in four months, you’re going home. We do not consent to an invasion of this country for millions of people who shouldn’t be here, and we are going to deport people now you start with the people who are most dangerous. You start with the most violent criminals, you make it harder for businesses to hire illegal aliens, and you work your way down from there,” he said.
Vance concluded, “I think that’s how you solve the problem of people who are here, but if you’re not willing to tell at least some of the people who are in this country illegally that you have to go back, then you don’t have a real border policy, and unfortunately, that’s what Kamala Harris has given this country.” Watch Vance respond below:
