Vance promotes Trump's 'whole government' immigration crackdown during visit to US-Mexico border
Vice President JD Vance has visited the U.S.-Mexico border to showcase how arrests for illegal crossings have fallen sharply under President Donald Trump. Vance said the improvement has occurred because Trump is demanding that all of government prioritize the immigration issue in ways former President Joe Biden never did. Vance was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, for an aerial tour of the area around Eagle Pass, Texas. They also visited a Border Patrol facility and sat for a roundtable with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and national, state and local officials. Vance says Trump has demanded that the whole government “take the task of border control seriously.”
