“JD Vance’s performance at Tuesday’s vice presidential debate may have been kinder and gentler than his ‘childless cat ladies’ and ‘they’re eating the cats and dogs’ persona, but he’s still spewing pernicious falsehoods about immigration. Let’s start with his premise that ‘we’ve got 20, 25 million illegal aliens who are here in the country,’ including ‘about a million of those people [who] have committed some form of crime in addition to crossing the border illegally.’ These figures are no mere exaggerations or outside estimates — they are meant to inflame listeners. … Vance’s tone on immigration may have softened, but the policies he favors and the facts he distorts are no different from Donald Trump at his worst.” (10/02/24)
