Controversial Remarks by U.S. Vice President on Immigrants
J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States, made significant remarks last week regarding the status of immigrants during an interview with Fox News. He emphasized that individuals holding "green cards" or student visas do not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
Weezha Roz-Washington-Vance made these statements in response to the issue of the residency status of immigrants who are present at airports with green cards or visas.
According to Vance, the U.S. Department of State has the authority to revoke the green card or visa of individuals if there is a legitimate reason to do so.
These remarks come at a time when CNN reported, based on the latest estimates from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that approximately 12.8 million people with green cards are currently living in the United States.
The Vice President’s comments have sparked widespread debates among politicians and the immigrant community, with some interpreting them as a potential indication of tougher immigration policies under the current administration.
It remains unclear whether these statements will lead to immediate changes in immigration laws, but they have drawn attention to the situation of millions of immigrants residing in the U.S.
