On 8/25/2025, Vance was a guest on NBC’s Meet the Press with host Kristen Welker. The immigration segment ended poorly for Welker. She first deliberately underestimated the number of illegal aliens in America, putting it at 8-10 million, which Vance pointed out was wrong (the number is at least 20 million, thanks to Biden and Harris).
VANCE: Whatever the real number is, it’s way too high. It’s millions upon millions of illegal immigrants just since Kamala Harris became the border czar a few years ago.
WELKER: She was put in charge of the root causes of immigration.
VANCE: Well, the root causes of migration is that Kamala Harris refuses to do her job as Border Czar.
To fix the immigration problem, we need to stop catch and release. We need to stop granting asylum to every single person who comes here, and we need to stop granting mass parole. In other words, we need to fire Kamala Harris and let President Donald Trump do what he does best.
JD Vance: Whatever the number is, it’s way too high. Millions upon millions of illegals have come in since Kamala became border czar.
Welker: She was put in charge of the root causes of migration.
JD: Well, the root causes of migration is that Kamala refuses to do her job.
Scott Jennings On CNN argued that the most consequential decisions President Biden made have Kamala Harris written all over them (Afghanistan, economic policy). Dems can never wash it off.
Kari Lake: “The energy in that room was incredible — and this just shows you how welcoming our movement is… We welcome everybody. This is not called the ‘Republican First’ movement, it’s called the America First movement.”
Robert Kennedy Jr: “The broader issues that were most important to me — the ones that brought me into the campaign — which were ending the Ukraine war, ending the censorship and protecting children’s health, reforming our food supply. Those are all things that President Trump also wanted to work on. He invited me to form a unity government.”
