During a recent interview, Vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance discussed the topic of mass deportations of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Vance proposed a sequential approach to the issue, suggesting that the focus should be on what is achievable rather than attempting to address the entire undocumented population at once.

Vance emphasized the need to first address the issue of illegal immigration by setting realistic goals. He suggested starting with a target of deporting one million individuals and then expanding from there. Vance criticized the current administration, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, for what he perceived as a failure to effectively address the issue.

In his interview, Vance highlighted the importance of securing the border and implementing policies such as the 'Remain in Mexico' policy and completing the border wall initiated by former President Donald Trump. He argued that taking a sequential approach to deportations, particularly focusing on violent criminals and cracking down on illegal labor practices, could help alleviate the problem of illegal immigration.
