"I remember back in 2021 criticizing the Biden policy of opening the floodgate to unvetted Afghan refugees, Vance posted on X. Friends sent me messages calling me a racist. It was a clarifying moment. He continued, saying Lakanwal and other Afghans shouldn't have been in our country. Vance then had another post a moment later. He said the shooting would spur the Trump Administration to double down on its efforts to deport more people in the U.S. illegally:"
"Many of our voters will demand not just words, but action, and this is an entirely appropriate response. We will first bring the shooter to justice, and then we must redouble our efforts to deport people with no right to be in our country. Already some voices in corporate media chirp that our immigration policies are too harsh. Tonight is a reminder of why they're wrong."
Vice President JD Vance said the shooting of two National Guard members by an Afghan national clarified his prior criticism of admitting large numbers of Afghans in 2021. The suspected shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. on a visa in 2021 and had an expired permission to stay as of September. Vance said unvetted Afghan arrivals should not have been in the country and recalled being called racist for opposing the policy. He wrote that the shooting will push authorities to prioritize deporting people without legal status and that voters will demand action. Vance previously stated importing people with incompatible views is absurd.
