US vice president JD Vance launched a scathing attack on former President Joe Biden’s immigration record on Wednesday, accusing him of allowing “approximately 20 million illegal aliens” into the United States and overwhelming public resources.
“This placed extraordinary burdens on our country—our schools, hospitals, housing, and other essential services were overwhelmed,” Vance said on X, adding that many of the undocumented migrants “committed violent crimes, or facilitated fentanyl and sex trafficking.”
Vance framed the immigration debate as a national emergency that the Trump administration has begun to correct. “The President has successfully stopped the inflow of illegal aliens, and now we must deport the people who came here illegally,” he declared.
‘Due process’ criticized as legal obstruction
Vance rejected concerns over legal protections for migrants, arguing that deportations require far less legal scrutiny than criminal convictions. “To say the administration must observe ‘due process’ is to beg the question,” he said, adding that applying strict legal standards to deportation proceedings is a tactic meant to block enforcement altogether.
“To put it in concrete terms,” he said, “imposing the death penalty on an American citizen requires more legal process than deporting an illegal alien to their country of origin.”
‘They’ve given their game away’
Vance also accused the media and progressive critics of trying to normalize mass illegal immigration under the guise of defending human rights. “They want to accomplish through fake legal process what they failed to accomplish politically: the ratification of Biden's illegal migrant invasion,” he said.
He challenged opponents of mass deportations to offer realistic alternatives, “Ask the people weeping over the lack of due process… does their solution allow us to deport at least a few million people per year? If the answer is no, they’ve given their game away.”
‘We will not stand for it’
Vance concluded with a vow that he and Trump would not allow what he described as a “deliberate effort to erase border enforcement” to continue.
“President Trump and I will not stand for it,” he said.

Consider that Joe Biden allowed approximately 20 million illegal aliens into our country. This placed extraordinary burdens on our country--our schools, hospitals, housing, and other essential services were overwhelmed. On top of that, many of these illegal aliens committed…
