Senator JD Vance isn’t mincing words about the Trump administration’s plans for illegal immigrants: they’re getting deported, and Democrats don’t get a veto. “We do not ask permission from far-left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants,” Vance declared. “We do the American people’s business.”

Vance, a vocal supporter of tougher immigration enforcement, has repeatedly called the situation at the southern border an “invasion” and insists mass deportations are essential, starting with violent criminals.
The administration is already moving fast. Troops are at the border, asylum proceedings have been halted, and deportation flights are underway. They’ve also scrapped a Biden-era rule that shielded illegal immigrants from arrest near schools and churches. Vance bluntly stated he “desperately hopes it has a chilling effect.”
The White House claims these tough measures are working, with Vance pointing to a significant drop in border crossings since President Trump took office in January 2025. Trump has ordered agencies across the government to prioritize fixing the border mess.
Predictably, the moves haven’t been without controversy. Vance took heat for incorrectly identifying a Maryland man deported to El Salvador, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, as an MS-13 gang member – an error the administration later admitted. Critics jumped on the mistake, though court documents didn’t back up the initial gang claim.
Vance is also defending Trump’s push to end birthright citizenship, arguing America needs to put its own citizens first. That policy is currently tied up in court after a judge temporarily blocked it. The Senator remains wary of the refugee vetting process, citing security risks and backing the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. He’s made it clear that under Trump, those seeking asylum might just be treated as “illegal aliens.”
Beyond deportations, Vance backs finishing the border wall, firmly opposes amnesty for those here illegally, and wants a merit-based immigration system focused on skills. He argues that illegal immigration hurts American workers by driving down wages. Even Pope Francis has weighed in, reportedly rebuking the administration’s deportation policy after Vance’s comments, while Vance himself has criticized European nations for their own migration problems.
