VP Vance Tells Woke Bishops to 'Look in the Mirror' Before Criticizing Trump's Border Policies

0


Vice President J.D. Vance slammed the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) over their remarks about the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts.

As part of Trump’s key campaign promise, the president is focusing on the U.S. southern border and illegal immigration to reverse the damage inflicted by Joe Biden over the last four years.

“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan highlighted a statement from the USCCB which scorned the Trump administration for “the treatment of immigrants and refugees,” asking Vance if he supported Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service.”

“Let me address this. Of course, if you have a person who is convicted of a violent crime, whether they’re an illegal immigrant or a non-illegal immigrant, you have to go and get that person to protect the public’s safety,” Vance said.

“That’s not unique to immigration, but let me just address this particular issue, Margaret, because as a practicing Catholic, I was actually heartbroken by that statement.”

“I think that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns, or are they actually worried about their bottom line? We’re going to enforce immigration law. We’re gonna protect the American people,” Vance added.

USCCB President Archbishop Timothy Broglio took issue with with several of Trump’s executive orders, including those that “focused on the treatment of immigrants and refugees, foreign aid, expansion of the death penalty, and the environment.”

Broglio also claimed such actions would have “negative consequences” for the “most vulnerable.”

However, Vance responded to the USCCB’s concerns by highlighting the 300,000 migrant children missing in the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration.

“Donald Trump promised to do that, and I believe the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, if they’re worried about the humanitarian costs of immigration enforcement, let them talk about the children who have been sex trafficked because of the wide-open border of Joe Biden,” Vance continued.

“Let them talk about people like Laken Riley who were brutally murdered. I support us doing law enforcement against violent criminals, whether they’re illegal immigrants or anybody else, in a way that keeps us safe,” Vance said.
