Vice President JD Vance revealed how President Donald Trump‘s administration can meet its campaign promise of mass deportations illegal migrants during an appearance on FOX News‘ The Ingraham Angle Thursday (March 13) night.
Vance said it would take time to increase deportations but the administration was making progress while touting the changes made thus far.
“We’ve cut illegal border crossings by well over 95%, and frankly, I think those numbers are going to continue to come down,” Vance said.
“You have immigration detention facilities that were underfunded,” he added. “You have ICE, which does most of the actual deportations, that was radically underfunded, really sort of in some ways destroyed by the Biden administration. We’re building that capacity up.”
Vance also praised Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for calling on illegal migrants to self-deport, as well as “border czar” Tom Homan for repurposing the CBP One app in order to meet the administration’s goals.
“Do you remember that? It actually facilitated illegal entry under the Biden administration,” Vance said. “We’re repurposing it to facilitate self-deportation. So what we’re going to encourage a lot of people to do is we don’t have to come and knock on your door and send you home. We’re going to do that, of course. But before that happens, why don’t you get on a plane and go home yourself? So it’s an all-of-the-above approach. We’re going to use everything that we can.”
