JD Vance calls for reduction in legal immigration at Turning Point event
Vice President JD Vance urged cutting legal immigration drastically to preserve U.S. social cohesion and criticized current policies as harmful, without specifying new admission numbers.
- On October 29, 2025, Vice President J.D. Vance headlined a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi urging far fewer legal immigrants and steep reductions.
- Vance argued that society must cohere for newcomers to assimilate and linked lowering future immigration to protecting young Americans' jobs while honoring U.S. legal immigration commitments.
- An Indian-origin attendee who challenged Vance questioned how the administration restricts legal immigrants despite encouraging them to pursue the American dream, referencing Vance's interfaith marriage to Usha Vance.
- Captured on video, the exchange went viral as the campus gathering drew more than 10,000 attendees, prompting heightened security and counter-protests amid the first events since Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder, was fatally shot last month.
- Within a wider context, the event fits within Trump administration immigration policy limits, as the State Department revoked more than 6,000 visas during a Turning Point tour nationwide linked to an ethnonationalist theme.

But the contrast between the rhetoric and policies of the first two decades of the century and those that have prevailed since President Donald Trump’s election is unmistakable. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, like the…
I’ve Seen Britain’s Future if It Fails To End Mass Migration
Changes to a country are easier to spot when you don’t live there. Born in London, I go back every so often and just returned. My impression is of a country at a crossroads. There is a tired, old Britain, resigned to continued cultural, societal, and economic decline. But there is also a growing movement willing to face the hard questions and plot a different course. On migration, Britain and other Western countries have two major decisions to m…
