JD Vance Clashes With CBS Host Over Unvetted Immigration

Vice President 🏛️J.D. Vance clashed with 📺CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan during a “Face the Nation” interview on Sunday over President Donald Trump’s initiative to stamp out illegal immigration into the U.S.

According to Fox News, the Trump administration has put a hold on all refugee resettlement operations and is calling for increased vetting on visa applications. Brennan asked Vance if he stood by his past comments about the U.S. not abandoning a person who has been properly vetted, to which Vance replied that it doesn’t appear that a good portion of those coming into the U.S. have been properly vetted.

“I don’t agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted,” Vance said, “In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country. That happened during the campaign, if you may remember. So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.”

Brennan then asked Vance about the 30,000 Afghans who are waiting for resettlement in the U.S. after former President Joe Biden abruptly pulled U.S. troops out of Afghanistan after 20 years. Vance, who has often called out the media for peddling “propaganda,” replied his responsibility is with the American people first and foremost.
