JD Vance said Trump would start with one million illegals and work from there
JD Vance reaffirmed Trump’s commitment to a policy of mass deportations, in an interview with ABC on Sunday.
Trump has pledged to deport up to 20 million people who are in the US illegally. ABC anchor Jonathan Karl asked Vance whether that policy was practical.
“One of the proposals in the platform you’ve talked about, and Trump has talked about, is a mass deportation. You said he said he’ll start with the easy ones, the criminals, people who commit crimes, deport them, but he said deporting 15 million to 20 million people, how do you actually do that?”
After some jockeying over whether Kamala was “border czar” or not, Vance outlined exactly how the policy would work.
“There’s 20 million people here illegally,” Vance said.
“You start with what’s achievable. You do that, and then you go onto what’s achievable from there. If you deport a lot of violent criminals and frankly if you make it harder to hire illegal labor, I think you go a lot of the way to solving the illegal immigration problem. But look, President Trump is absolutely right. You cannot have a border unless you’re willing to deport some people. I think it’s interesting that people focus on, well, how do you deport 18 million people? Let’s start with 1 million. That’s where Kamala Harris has failed and we can go from there.”

Vance blasted Biden and Kamala Harris for their “open border” policy on immigration, and said that the Vice President needs to “sit down” and actually lay out her policy positions for the American public. Harris has faced persistent criticism since her selection for failing to hold a formal press conference or submit to an interview with the media.
Trump’s running-mate also said he thought the election would be “very tight.”
“Look, I think that we are going to have a very tight election, Jon, and that we just have to sprint to the finish line. We have about 88 days to actually persuade the American people that President Trump should be their president and me their vice president. And I think you just take nothing for granted. You don’t believe any polls, whether the ones that are good for you or bad for you, you just try to persuade people as much as you can and the chips are going to fall where they are.”
