VP Vance Defends Tight Borders, Rebukes New York Progressive
U.S. Vice President JD Vance used a public appearance on 28 August to argue that Western nations had become “too comfortable” with open borders and restrictions on speech, contrasting that approach with what he described as the Biden-Trump administration’s emphasis on tighter border controls and expanded free expression. He said the shift had “energized the culture” of countries that embraced it. Vance also challenged progressive critics of U.S. policy, singling out New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani. The vice president questioned whether Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, showed adequate “gratitude” for the opportunities the United States provided, and urged political figures to defend national heritage against what he called “crazies” who disparage it.
