Donald Trump’s pick for vice president — Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) — has made himself into a champion for reform of the federal government’s unpopular economic strategy of growth by migration.
“No one can avoid that [immigration] has made our societies poorer, less safe, less prosperous, and less advanced,” Vance told a D.C. audience at the NatCon4 conference on July 10.
America is not a “nation of immigrants,” Vance argued:
America is not just an idea — though we were founded on great ideas. America is a nation. It is a group of people with a common history and a common future, and yes … one of the parts of that commonality as a people is that we do allow newcomers to this country. We allow them on our terms, on the terms of the American citizens. And that’s the way that we preserve the continuity of this project from 200 years past to hopefully 200 years in the future.
The elite’s ruthless support for migration is a threat to democracy, said Vance, who grew up in a poor home in Ohio:
