Republican frontrunner former President Donald Trump has just picked Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate and supporters believe that he makes for the perfect vice president to secure the U.S. border that President Joe Biden has opened wide. Vance is a staunch supporter of America-first foreign policy and when they assume office, this will be surely back in force.
In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, he blasted the Biden administration’s border crisis, arguing that the flood of deadly drugs pouring into the U.S. from the southern border is “orphaning an entire generation of kids.” A White House led by Trump, he said, would focus on deporting migrants, particularly “violent criminals” who entered the country illegally and beefing up border security.

“Joe Biden has thrown open the southern border. President Trump had it under control,” Vance argued. “We’ve got to stop the flow to begin with. Now, what do you do with the 11 million people? I actually think it’s probably more than 11 million people who are here right now. Number one, you start with the most violent people, the people of criminal records, and you’ve got to be willing to deport them.”
He further said that officials need to make it harder for illegal immigrants to find work in the U.S. because it lowers the wages of American workers and lessens job opportunities for legal migrants and U.S. citizens. “It invites more people to come in illegally,” he told Hannity. “And if you make it hard for people to work, a lot of them are going to go back anyway.”

Vance is also a critic of sending support to Ukraine in its war with Russia. He has repeatedly criticized NATO and its European members for not spending enough on defense. He also made several comments that raised many eyebrows, including when he said the United Kingdom would become the “first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon” under the new Labor government.
In a 20-minute speech at the conference talking about foreign policy, defense and America’s place in the world, Vance touched on immigration several times and made a joke about Britain’s open borders problem which he suggested would be exacerbated by the new government. “By the way, I have to beat up on the U.K. on one additional thing… one of the big dangers in the world of course is nuclear proliferation… what is the first truly Islamist country that will get nuclear weapons? Maybe it’s Iran, maybe Pakistan already kinda counts, and then we finally decided maybe it’s the U.K. since Labor just took over. But to my Tory friends, I’ve got to say, you guys have got to get a handle on this,” he said as the audience laughed and applauded.
Britain’s left-wing news outlet, The Guardian, acknowledged that he was just kidding, but stated that “Jokes can be provocative, dangerous and offensive and they reveal a lot about what people think.”
The U.K.’s new left-wing Labor government was installed earlier this month.
The 39-year-old Republican vice-presidential nominee is said to be the first millennial to join a major party ticket. If he gets elected, he will become the third-youngest vice president in history.
According to the New York Times, between the Republican and Democratic tickets, he is the only candidate who is not approaching or already in retirement age. His counterpart on the Democratic ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris, will be celebrating her 60th birthday on Oct. 20.
Richard Nixon, who later became president, was 40 years and 11 days old in 1953 when he began serving as vice president under Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Meanwhile, John C. Breckinridge, a 36-year-old Democrat, was inaugurated in 1857 as vice president under President James Buchanan, who was the immediate predecessor to Abraham Lincoln. If 78-year-old Trump wins, Vance will be 40 years, 5 months and 18 days old on inauguration day in January 2025.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and George H. Pendleton, the vice-presidential candidate to Lincoln’s opponent, were 38 and 39 years old, respectively, when they became running mates. Neither of those tickets won, though Roosevelt later became president. The 39-year age difference between Trump and Vance is the largest age difference in a major party presidential ticket, surpassing the 30-year gap between Buchanan and Breckinridge.
Biden, who was born in 1942, is likely the last president to be born before the end of World War II. Trump, born in 1946, is a baby boomer president like George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who was the first baby boomer to serve in the White House.

On the corner of a street in Harehills, a crowd of people gathered around the charred shell of what was once a double-decker bus. The smell of smoke hung in the air, while a police helicopter hovered overhead.Just a few hours on from what West Yorkshire Police described as "pockets of disorder", the scene on the ground felt like much more than that, with dozens of people still gathering when […]
