Vice President J.D. Vance Defends Immigration Policies During Heated Speech

Vance links illegal immigration to rising housing costs and defends Trump administration's strict border enforcement.

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed local leaders at the National League of Cities conference, emphasizing the impact of illegal immigration on housing affordability.
He argued that increased housing demand from illegal immigration has driven up costs, making it harder for Americans to own homes and achieve the American Dream.
Vance faced hecklers during his speech but defended the Trump administration's border enforcement policies as necessary for affordability, safety, and reducing drug trafficking.
The Trump administration has implemented measures to lower housing costs, including slashing regulations and enforcing immigration laws to reduce demand pressures.
Vance called for bipartisan cooperation to support blue-collar workers and ensure local municipalities comply with federal immigration laws.
