Republican presidential nominee J.D. Vance has aligned himself with the Trump administration and campaign on immigration issues. Vance has taken a strong stance on the southern border and has also expressed support for limiting immigration programs, including those introduced during the Biden administration.
One such program that Vance and other conservatives have criticized is the Biden-era parole programs, which were utilized to bring in a significant number of migrants under humanitarian grounds. Vance has been vocal in his opposition to these programs, labeling them as illegal.
Vance recently highlighted the use of mass parole and Temporary Protected Status by Vice President Kamala Harris to allow certain migrants to stay in the country. He argued that even if Harris used these programs to grant legal status to individuals, he still considers them illegal aliens. Vance emphasized that an action taken unlawfully, such as granting legal status through executive orders, does not change the legal status of an individual.
His comments reflect a broader conservative viewpoint that questions the legality and implications of various immigration policies and actions taken by the current administration. The debate over immigration policies continues to be a contentious issue in American politics, with differing perspectives on how to address border security and the status of undocumented individuals.
