Vice President J.D. Vance recently appeared on CBS’s Face The Nation, where he faced intense questioning from host Margaret Brennan. The conversation mainly revolved around the Trump administration’s immigration policy reforms, which have been the subject of much debate.

Among the topics discussed was President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to eliminate birthright citizenship, a controversial move that has already encountered legal obstacles.

Brennan challenged Vance on the administration’s actions regarding birthright citizenship, referencing a federal judge’s decision to halt the order due to its alleged constitutional violations.

In response, Vance acknowledged the legal challenges but stood firm in his support for the administration’s position. He emphasized the importance of reserving citizenship for individuals who plan to reside in the United States permanently and lawfully.

Vance explained that those who are lawful permanent residents or legal immigrants with intentions to stay should indeed have their children granted citizenship. He drew parallels to children of ambassadors, who do not automatically become ambassadors themselves, to illustrate perceived inconsistencies in current policies.

Brennan, undeterred, pressed on, questioning how the administration reconciles its stance with America’s historical identity as a “nation of immigrants.”

In defense, Vance argued that while the United States is indeed unique—a nation founded by immigrants—this does not mandate maintaining what he described as outdated immigration policies. He suggested that the current policy framework needs modernization to better serve the country’s interests.

The conversation then shifted to the Biden administration’s track record on immigration, which Vance criticized sharply. He cited figures indicating that over 10 million illegal aliens and asylum seekers have entered the U.S. during Biden’s presidency. Vance accused the Biden-Harris administration of abandoning international asylum law, which traditionally requires migrants to present themselves at the first secure port of entry.

This policy shift, Vance argued, permitted asylum seekers from countries like Afghanistan and China to enter the United States without thorough vetting, raising national security concerns. Reports of nearly 400 individuals on terror watchlists crossing the border only heightened these worries.

Despite Brennan’s attempts to defend the previous administration’s vetting procedures, Vance was dismissive. He referenced incidents where individuals, allegedly vetted, had plans for terrorist attacks in the U.S., highlighting a foiled plot in Oklahoma City by an Afghan national.

Brennan suggested the suspect might have been radicalized domestically, but Vance remained resolute, asserting that such individuals should not be in the country in the first place.

Vance stressed the need to protect American families from inadequately vetted individuals. He expressed a personal concern for his children’s safety and extended that concern to all American families, advocating for stringent immigration reforms to ensure national security and well-being.

The discussion underscored the stark differences in immigration policy perspectives between the Trump administration and its opponents.

Vance reiterated his commitment to aligning immigration reforms with the security and prosperity of Americans, despite any legal challenges or criticisms.
