Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) elaborated on former President Donald Trump‘s plans for fixing the broken immigration system should they win the 2024 election.
“It is simple,” Vance said during a Wednesday press conference in Detroit.
“The first thing President Trump will do is stop the massive inflow of illegal aliens in the first place. You gotta stop the bleeding before you can actually fix the problem here,” he said.
Vance laid out that the first thing the Trump administration would do is to “reimplement deportation and finish construction of the border wall.”
He said they would stop the push for “mass amnesty” for “millions of illegal aliens.”
The Ohio senator told the media that these initial steps would solve “most of the problems” and reminded them that it has previously worked because “Trump already did it.”
Vance then addressed what would happen to the undocumented migrants currently in the country.
“Now, what do you do with the people who are already here?” he rhetorically asked.
“I think it’s important that you send a message that if you have come to this country illegally, if you plowed into an innocent mom and their daughter and they lost their lives because of your actions, the message from the Trump administration is simple: Pack your bags because in four months, you are going home,” he declared.
The military veteran added, “We do not consent to an invasion of the country for millions of people who shouldn’t be here and we are going to deport people.”
Trump’s running mate said their administration would start deporting “the most violent criminals” and make it hard for businesses to “hire illegal aliens.”

“If you are not willing to tell at least some of the people who are in this country illegally that you have to go back, then you don‘t have a real border policy. Unfortunately, that is what Kamala Harris has given this country,” Vance said.
During his press conference, he implored the press to “do a better job at actually forcing Kamala Harris to answer questions” on numerous issues, including her handling of the southern border.
