The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, has sent a strong warning to undocumented immigrants.
The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, has sent a strong warning to undocumented immigrants. In the 2024 presidential elections, the problem of illegal immigrants entering or remaining in the US has assumed a central role.
Republican vice presidential candidate Vance said that illegal immigrants should “start packing” because “Donald Trump is coming back” during a rally in Reno, Nevada.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who is expected to be the Democratic nominee for president, “will not stop until every single immigrant she lets in” becomes a voter, claims Vance.
The Ohio senator emphasized that it is “common sense” for US officials to “look after the interests” of American residents, saying that it “is time to put the interests of American citizens first.”
He made the observation that should Harris be successful in getting illegal immigrants to register as voters, she would effectively be “handing over control” of the nation to “people who shouldn’t even be here.”
The fact that there have been almost 6.4 million border crossings during Joe Biden’s administration illustrates the scope of the immigration problem. With more than 2 million outstanding applications generating a sizable backlog and significantly taxing the regulatory framework, it is evident that the US asylum system is overburdened. The rise in asylum petitions highlights the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
Republicans have criticized Biden’s immigration policies harshly, arguing that they are unduly permissive and have increased the number of people entering the country illegally.
In the meanwhile, Vance’s comment sparked reactions on social media. One person said on X, “Vance is perfect for the job!”
“How about the children of illegal immigrants? They too have to leave,” said someone else.
“Mass deportations is the way,” a third person said, and “this is the goal,” a fourth user added. This ought to be the only factor in Trump’s victory.

Vance hails Trump, takes brutal jibe at Kamala Harris
He went on to discuss the botched attempt on Trump’s life, saying that the outgoing president had “taken a bullet for the country.” He continued by implying that Trump will continue to make significant contributions to the US and its citizens if reelected.
“Just imagine what he would do with four more years in the White House,” he said, declaring that “we are going to take back our country.”
He went on to draw comparisons between Trump and Harris, saying that Trump had demonstrated what it meant to be a devoted person by “taking a bullet for this country.” But he went on to say that if the US vice president wanted to talk about loyalty, she “should look in the mirror.”
Harris is “someone who didn’t get a single vote,” Vance added, mocking “the heads of the Democratic Party” for selecting her as their new candidate.
