JD Vance Torches Far-Left Dems’ Immigration Stance [WATCH]

JD Vance addressed a deportation case that he said was misrepresented by Democrats and media outlets, which initially described the individual as an innocent father while omitting key details later confirmed by an immigration judge.

Vance said the case involved an individual deported to El Salvador who was determined in 2019 to be a member of the MS-13 gang and who had a record of traffic violations and missed court appearances.

“There’s been a few cases out there where the Democrats and the media say, oh, this person was just an innocent father of three, and then you find out, for example, I think this is the case that you’re talking about,” Vance said.

“Back in 2019 an immigration judge looked at all the evidence, looked at all the data, and concluded that this allegedly innocent person that we sent to El Salvador was actually a member of an MS 13 gang. He had also committed some traffic violations. He had not shown up for some court dates. This is not exactly Father of the Year here. This is a person that we don’t think should be in our country.”

Vance said the deportation itself was not disputed, even by critics, and that objections focused instead on the reasoning behind the decision.

He emphasized that the individual’s immigration status was not in question.

“Here’s the most important point, though, Lawrence is, whatever the argument is, whatever the justification is, no one doubts,” Vance said.

“Not even the crazy left wing media criticized the idea that we could deport this person, they just took issue with the reasoning for why we deported this person.”

Vance said the immigration judge’s findings established that the individual had no legal right to remain in the United States.

“This was unquestionably an illegal alien,” he said.

“This was unquestionably a person who broke the laws to get into our country. This is unquestionably a person an immigration judge had found had zero right to be in the United States of America.”

He criticized Democrats for opposing deportations while, in his view, placing the interests of illegal aliens ahead of American citizens.

Vance said deportation decisions are made to serve the country’s interests, not to satisfy political critics.

“We do not ask permission from far left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants, we do the American people’s business,” Vance said.

“And again, for the American people who are watching this is such a weird, mistaken placement of priorities.”

Vance said the focus of national leadership should be on strengthening the country, improving economic conditions, and ensuring public safety.

He questioned why Democratic lawmakers express stronger reactions to the deportation of gang members than to crimes committed by those individuals.

“We need to make our country stronger. We need to create jobs. We need to make our streets safer,” he said.

“What is it about congressional Democrats that get more angry at deporting violent gang members than they do at the victims of those violent gang members. I don’t even understand where they’re coming from.”

Vance concluded by saying Democrats have lost touch with reality on immigration enforcement and public safety.

“They’ve gone off the deep end, and they got to come back to reality,” Vance said.
