What happens when JD Vance appears on The View?

Amala Ekpunobi 0:00
JD Vance finally makes it on The View. They go after him on race and immigration and it doesn't go well for them. Let's talk about it. Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Today, we're going to be reacting to JD Vance on The View. They go after him on a multitude of things, the economy, the Epstein files, race, immigration. Today, we're looking at the race immigration part of this conversation.

How do the hosts challenge JD Vance on race and immigration?

Amala Ekpunobi 0:30
And as you can imagine, JD holds it down and he throws down and at some point leaves Whoopi Goldberg speechless on a point she's trying to make.
Ana Navarro 0:40
I'm a poor community. Sure. You know how hard it has been for people. Two things, you talk a lot about your Catholic faith, but the Catholic faith says we take in immigrants. We take in people who don't have or who are having a hard time. How do you justify both things?
JD Vance 1:03
So let me say first a couple things, Whoopi. So number one, the book is actually way less political than you might think if you were just watching this, because obviously we're getting into the issues of the day. 95% of the book is really not about politics. I kind of have to write about politics because I'm the vice president, but I want to answer your question. So fundamentally, if you think about what is immigration enforcement, immigration is law enforcement. It's somebody who has broken a law. A law enforcement officer has to show up and enforce that law. Now, inherently, sometimes that process is not always going to be pretty if you capture a video clip of it in the same way that if you arrest somebody for committing a violent or nonviolent crime, sometimes it's not always pretty.
JD Vance 1:43
What I'm saying is the Catholic faith is actually very it's I think it strikes the right balance here. It says the Christian faith, I think this is true of Protestants and Catholics, that you can have borders. You're allowed to enforce your borders. That means the law enforcement piece of it.

What is JD Vance's response to questions about his faith?

JD Vance 1:58
But you also have to take certain precautions and certain care, okay?
Amala Ekpunobi 2:02
And again- You can hear just the lawyer in him rebutting the exact points he's trying to make. And it's interesting to, I think, start this conversation about his book and then proceed to essentially attack him on his faith and say that he's living in incongruence with his faith when as the vice president he's meant to be operating under a separation of church and state so it's kind of a moot point to even begin with but still he has to defend having his face faith-based beliefs and his beliefs on immigration and he's doing well enough at that because as As we all know, it doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are. Illegal immigration is illegal immigration. And it's caused quite a bit of turmoil in this country and in the West at large.
Amala Ekpunobi 2:44
And it's time that somebody came through to do something about it. And this current administration has been doing exactly that. So we'll see where this conversation goes from here because I have a feeling we're gonna need to pivot from the faith points with his defense of it in this beginning clip.
JD Vance 3:00
Your argument is fundamentally whoopee. You're saying that we don't strike the right balance. I disagree with you about how we apply that, but nobody hopefully is saying we're not allowed to have a border. What I'm saying is that in order for us to actually enforce the law, you can't set a standard that says you're not allowed to deport anyone unless they've committed a violent crime.

How does JD Vance defend his views on immigration enforcement?

JD Vance 3:20
You've got to enforce the law equally. No, no, let me do my follow-up. You don't have to raise your hand, Julie.
Ana Navarro 3:24
Let me do my follow-up.
Yes, I do.
Ana Navarro 3:26
Because you were talking about people. What did Black people do to this administration?
Amala Ekpunobi 3:36
Hold up. Let me give you a follow-up on that. I know we were talking about, what, Catholicism and illegal immigration, but what did Black people do to you? I cannot... You know that they're just ready with these points that they probably put together, you know, weeks ahead of him showing up on the show, and this is the best they can do. Think about that. And then they go and hit their morning meeting before this show, and they go through again exactly what it is they want to say.
