Republican vice-presidential nominee Ohio Sen. JD Vance now says thousands of Haitians who are in the nation legally are really “illegal aliens,” who should be deported. RALEIGH, N.C. -- As he continues to rage about immigration, Ohio Sen. JD Vance now says thousands of Haitians, who are in the nation legally, are really “illegal aliens,” who were unlawfully protected from deportation.
“What is fundamentally illegal is for Kamala Harris to say we’re going to grant parole, not on a case-by-case basis, but to millions of illegal aliens who are coming to this country,” Vance told NPR. “That does not magically make them legal because Kamala Harris waved the amnesty wand. That makes her border policy a disgrace, and I’m still going to call people illegal aliens.”
Vance’s statements in Raleigh are a continuation of claims that he and Trump have made that illegal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are killing and eating pets, driving up crime rates, overwhelming schools and making streets unsafe. Vance has cited the figure of 20,000 immigrants in Springfield.The city also notes that Haitians in Springfield are there legally, admitted to the United States under the Immigration Parole Program and then granted Temporary Protected Status as refugees.
