J.D. Vance is one of the most active Vice Presidents in decades.
He’s playing a key role in the administration’s strategy.
And J.D. Vance just flew Air Force Two to the one place Democrats feared most with this huge announcement.
J.D. Vance travels to the southern border to tout Trump’s success
President Donald Trump was left with a disaster at the southern border when he took office.
Four years of a border crisis under former Joe Biden left the area in chaos.
The turnaround after Trump took office at the southern border is dramatic.
February had the fewest number of illegal aliens apprehended at the border since the Border Patrol began keeping records in the 1980s.
Vice President J.D. Vance traveled to the city of Eagle Pass, Texas with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The border city of Eagle Pass was under siege from illegal aliens under Biden.
Vance and the other Trump administration officials took a Black Hawk helicopter to tour the border, met with Border Patrol agents, and spoke with Texas officials.
“I will say that the most heartening message that I take away from my visit here at the Texas border is the number of Border Patrol agents who have come up to me and said, ‘thank you,’” Vance said.
Border Patrol agents touted the sharp decline in illegal immigration under Trump.
“Or said, ‘Because of this, we’ve cut the number of border crossings from 1,500 a day to 30 a day.’ Or the people who have come up and said, ‘we’ve seen a reduction of 85% of the number of people who are dying at the American southern border,’ and every single day that we continue to keep this border safe, that means less migrant crime, that means less fentanyl coming into our communities,” Vance added.
Vance makes a big announcement about a key Trump agenda item
Construction resumed on the border wall after Trump took office.
Vance gave the goal for when the administration hoped to have it completed.
“I think the President’s hope is that by the end of the term, we build the entire border wall,” Vance stated. “And, of course, that’s the physical structure, the border wall itself.”
Biden shut down construction on the wall on his first day in office in 2021 and left building materials to collect dust in the desert.
The border has seen a major improvement but the work is just beginning for the Trump administration.
“First of all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we have seen pretty significant decreases in deportations and apprehensions and arrests,” Vance explained. “But we have to remember that President Biden gutted the entire immigration enforcement regime of this country. We are trying to rebuild so that we actually empower people to enforce the immigration laws.”
Biden claimed he was helpless to secure the border unless Congress passed a fake border security bill negotiated by RINO U.S. Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and Democrats that would have allowed 5,000 illegal aliens into the country every day and given them work permits.
Vance reminded reporters that securing the border was always a matter of will.
“As you saw, the President said yesterday, I think it’s maybe the most important part of his speech, is that we didn’t need new laws to secure the border. We needed a new President, and thank God we have that,” Vance said. “I’ve heard already from a number of the folks that I’ve talked to in border patrol, that all we needed to do was empower these guys to do their job.”
The situation at the southern border improved faster than anyone could have imagined.
