During a recent New York Times interview, Vice President JD Vance unloaded on injunctions and lower court rulings aimed at preventing the Trump 2.0 from delivering on its mass deportations campaign promise.
“You cannot have a country where the American people keep on electing immigration enforcement, and the courts tell the American people they’re not allowed to have what they voted for,” Vance said. “And that’s where we are right now.”
“We’re gonna keep working it through the immigration court process, through the Supreme Court as much as possible,” Vance continued.
“And look, success to me is not so much a number, though obviously I’d love to see the gross majority of the illegal immigrants who came in under Biden deported. That actually is a secondary metric of success. Success to me is that we have established a set of rules and principles that the courts are comfortable with, and that we have the infrastructure to do what allows us to deport large numbers of illegal aliens when large numbers of illegal aliens come into the country. That to me is real success.”
“One thing I’d love for the American media to do a little bit more is really go to a migrant community where you have, say, 60% legal immigrants and 40% illegal immigrants. The level of chaos, the level of violence, the level of, I think, truly pre-modern brutality that some of these communities have gotten used to — whatever law was written, I think it vests us with very serious power to take very serious action against this,” he added.
