Vice President JD Vance has publicly supported President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., urging other cities such as Chicago and Milwaukee to request federal assistance to address rising crime rates. In an interview on the Will Cain Show, Vance discussed several key issues including tariffs, illegal immigration, and economic policy. He attributed the dramatic rise in housing prices partly to illegal immigration, stating that too many people were competing with American citizens for scarce homes. Vance also noted that housing affordability has stabilized recently due to negative net migration into the United States, which he described as the first occurrence in 60 years. On economic policy, Vance emphasized the importance of protecting American workers by imposing tariffs on goods manufactured overseas and rewarding companies that build factories within the United States, particularly in middle America. Additionally, he commented on disaster aid for Milwaukee area floods and the deployment of National Guard troops in U.S. cities as part of broader efforts to maintain public safety.
