U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has intensified his criticism of mass immigration, arguing it is eroding the “American Dream” and fuelling soaring living costs for young Americans.
His comments come as the Trump administration accelerates nationwide ICE raids and prepares for what it says will be the largest deportation operation in US history.
Responding to a viral video from a construction company owner who said immigrant workers had stopped showing up, Vance wrote on X that “mass migration is theft of the American Dream,” insisting that analysts who downplay its impact are “paid for by the people getting rich off the old system.”
He has repeatedly linked high housing prices to the presence of “30 million illegal immigrants,” blaming federal inaction in previous years for overwhelming the market.
President Donald Trump has pledged a sweeping crackdown on undocumented migrants, emphasising the removal of violent offenders, while critics argue that federal agents are also detaining people with no criminal history, including spouses of US citizens.
Protests outside detention centres and during nationwide ‘No Kings’ marches have accused the administration of overreach, while Trump counters that opponents are shielding criminals and points to recent high-profile fraud cases tied to migrant communities.
Mass migration is theft of the American Dream. It has always been this way, and every position paper, think tank piece, and econometric study suggesting otherwise is paid for by the people getting rich off of the old system. https://t.co/O4sv8oxPVO

A big problem for NZ now confronting one of Our main exporters forestry is that three of China’s main player construction enterprises – Evergrande Country Gardens and now Vanke have all gone broke
