Event Summary

US Vice President JD Vance ignited a political firestorm by stating that 'mass migration is the theft of the American Dream' on X (social network). This remark drew widespread criticism, with many pointing to the Indian heritage of his wife, Usha Vance, and accusing him of hypocrisy. Critics suggested he should 'send her back' to India. The controversy also revived past statements by JD Vance, including his view that it is 'reasonable' for Americans to prefer neighbors of the same race and his hope that Usha Vance would convert to Christianity. These debates occur amidst an escalating immigration crackdown by the Trump administration, including a recent suspension of immigration applications by United States — United States Citizenship and Immigration Services from 'high-risk' countries.
