Vice President JD Vance defended President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship Saturday, arguing in his first interview since taking office that "just because we were founded by immigrants, doesn't mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.""America should actually look out for the interests of our citizens first," Vance said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." "If you're here permanently and lawfully, your kid becomes an American citizen."

Vice President JD Vance strongly responded to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops following their criticism of the Trump administration's recent rule change, which permits ICE raids in churches and schools. Vance's remarks came after the bishops condemned the policy, which they argued undermines the sanctity of religious spaces and places vulnerable communities at risk. "As a practicing Catholic, I was actually heartbroken by that statement," Vance, 40, said during an interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that aired on Sunday.

Vice President JD Vance “utterly embarrassed” CBS News’s Margaret Brennan during an interview where she attempted to press him on immigration, national security, and economic issues, Republican lawmakers and strategists said after the discussion went viral. In an episode of Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan that aired Sunday, Vance expertly fired back at her claims that all the people who came into the U.S. as “refugees” under former President Joe Biden were properly “vetted.”
