Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator JD Vance, a key ally of former President Donald Trump, delivered a fiery speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), labeling immigration as the “greatest threat” facing the United States and Europe.
Vance’s remarks signal a stark shift in U.S. policy under Trump’s leadership, emphasizing national security and economic stability over traditional global commitments. He argued that uncontrolled immigration poses risks to the nation’s workforce, cultural identity, and security, aligning closely with Trump’s hardline stance on border enforcement.
“The greatest threat we face is not in some far-off land, but right here at home,” Vance told the CPAC audience. “If we do not control our borders, we do not have a country.”
His comments come amid growing Republican efforts to tighten immigration laws ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Trump has repeatedly pledged to implement stricter border controls and deport millions of undocumented immigrants if re-elected.
Vance’s speech reinforces the GOP’s broader push to reshape U.S. immigration policies, prioritizing national interests and sovereignty over international obligations. His stance is expected to play a central role in the Republican campaign narrative as the election approaches.
