President Donald J. Trump has picked Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate and supporters believe Vance will make the perfect vice president to secure the U.S. border the Obiden Regime has maintained wide open for nearly four years.
This from thelibertydaily.com.
Vance is a staunch supporter of America-first foreign policy and when they assume office, this will surely be back in force.
In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Vance blasted the Biden Regime’s border crisis, arguing that the flood of deadly drugs pouring into the U.S. from the southern border is “orphaning an entire generation of kids.”
He continued:
A White House led by Trump would focus on deporting migrants—particularly violent criminals who entered the country illegally—and beefing up border security.
Vance emphasized:
Joe Biden has thrown open the southern border. President Trump had it under control.
We’ve got to stop the flow to begin with. Now, what do you do with the 11 million people? I actually think it’s probably more than 11 million people who are here right now. Number one, you start with the most violent people, the people of criminal records, and you’ve got to be willing to deport them.
He continued:
Officials need to make it harder for illegal immigrants to find work in the U.S. because it lowers the wages of American workers and lessens job opportunities for legal migrants and U.S. citizens.
Vance told Hannity:
It invites more people to come in illegally. And if you make it hard for people to work, a lot of them are going to go back anyway.
Vance is also a critic of sending support to Ukraine in its war with Russia. He has repeatedly criticized NATO and its European members for not spending enough on defense. He also made several comments that raised many eyebrows, including when he said:
[T]he United Kingdom would become the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon under the new Labor government.
In a 20-minute speech at the conference talking about foreign policy, defense, and America’s place in the world, Vance touched on immigration several times and made a joke about Britain’s open borders problem which he suggested would be exacerbated by the new government.
He explained his thought process as the audience laughed and applauded:
By the way, I have to beat up on the U.K. on one additional thing… one of the big dangers in the world of course is nuclear proliferation… what is the first truly Islamist country that will get nuclear weapons? Maybe it’s Iran, maybe Pakistan already kinda counts, and then we finally decided maybe it’s the U.K. since Labor just took over. But to my Tory friends, I’ve got to say, you guys have got to get a handle on this.
Britain’s left-wing news outlet, The Guardian, acknowledged that he was just kidding, but stated that “Jokes can be provocative, dangerous, and offensive and they reveal a lot about what people think.”
The U.K.’s new left-wing Labor government was installed earlier this month.
The 39-year-old Republican vice-presidential nominee is said to be the first millennial to join a major party ticket. Upon election, he will become the third-youngest vice president in history.
According to the New York Times, between the Right and the Left tickets, he is the only candidate who is not approaching or already in retirement age. His current counterpart on the Left ticket, Kamala Harris, will be celebrating her 60th birthday on Oct. 20.
Richard Nixon, who later became president, was 40 years and 11 days old in 1953 when he began serving as vice president under Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Meanwhile, John C. Breckinridge, a 36-year-old Democrat, was inaugurated in 1857 as vice president under President James Buchanan, who was the immediate predecessor to Abraham Lincoln. After 78-year-old Trump wins, Vance will be 40 years, 5 months and 18 days old on inauguration day in January 2025.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and George H. Pendleton, the vice-presidential candidate to Lincoln’s opponent, were 38 and 39 years old, respectively, when they became running mates. Neither of those tickets won, though Roosevelt later became president. The 39-year age difference between Trump and Vance is the largest age difference in a major party presidential ticket, surpassing the 30-year gap between Buchanan and Breckinridge.
Biden, who was born in 1942, is likely the last occupant of the White House to be born before the end of World War II. Trump, born in 1946, is a baby boomer president like George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who was the first baby boomer to serve in the White House.
