U.S. Vice President JD Vance has reaffirmed the Trump administration\u2019s tough stance on immigration, stating that green card holders and some foreign students could face deportation if deemed not in the country\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, Vance emphasised that holding a green card does not guarantee permanent residency, adding that deportation numbers will rise as efforts to remove illegal migrants intensify.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cA green card holder doesn\u2019t have an indefinite right to be in the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not fundamentally about free speech. Yes, it\u2019s about national security, but it\u2019s also more importantly, about who we, as an American public, decide gets to join our national community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if the secretary of state and the president decide this person shouldn\u2019t be in America, and they have no legal right to stay here, it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n
He further suggested that foreign students could be deported if deemed a threat to national interests. \u201cI think we\u2019ll certainly see some people who get deported on student visas if we determine that it\u2019s not in the best interest of the United States to have them in our country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Vance also criticised the high number of foreign students at elite U.S. universities, claiming they take up spots that could have gone to American students.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of these foreign students, most of them, pay full freight. So sometimes what you have at elite universities like Columbia or Harvard is a well-qualified middle-class American kid from the heartland who doesn\u2019t get a spot because some Chinese oligarch, who is paying $100,000 a year, takes up that spot,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n
