Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance declared that Democrats care more about illegal aliens and Ukraine’s shared border with Russia than working-class Americans at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.
Vance, the New York Times best-selling author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” said Democrats and establishment Republicans “who fail to do anything to stop them” are more concerned with the well-being of foreign nationals and foreign countries than the quality of life of the nation’s working and middle class.
The nation’s ongoing opioid epidemic, where more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses from 2020 to 2021, is just one example, according to Vance.
“One of the biggest ways that the Democrats have failed the working class, have failed the citizens of this country, is that they don’t even care about their citizens compared to the illegal aliens flowing across the U.S. southern border,” Vance said:
Now the Democrats always say that their border policies are compassionate. We know that’s a joke. There’s nothing compassionate about letting drug cartels and sex traffickers control our country as if it were a third-world backwater country . [Emphasis added]
I want to tell you a story about exactly what the Democrats’ border policies do to communities and the people like mine, the people that we fight for as conservatives. I got a phone call about 10 years ago actually and she told me that my mom, my beloved mom, had just had a heroin overdose and was in a coma and was in a hospital just outside of Cincinnati. And I remember thinking to myself that whether she woke up from that coma … she would never meet the grandchildren that my wife and I would eventually have. [Emphasis added]
…
Now I’m proud to say that about four weeks ago … we celebrated my mom’s 7-year medallion ceremony where she has been clean and sober for seven years . [Emphasis added]
“If 10 years ago, the stuff that my mom took that put her in a coma was the Mexican fentanyl coming across in 2022, we would have never had those second chances, we would have never had that opportunity to have another seven years with my mom clean and sober,” Vance continued.
In addition, Vance said Democrats and establishment Republicans have been increasingly interested in foreign affairs halfway around the globe at the expense of working and middle-class American communities.
Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine and Biden’s deploying U.S. troops to Poland, Vance said, is only the latest instance where the globalist priorities of the nation’s ruling class have superseded the interests of Americans.
“I got a lot of flack in the last week because I had the audacity to suggest that before our leaders obsess over a Ukrainian-Russian border over 6,000 miles away, maybe they better guarantee the sovereignty of their own country and their own border first,” Vance said:
The reason I say that is because we have a leadership in this country that is constantly focused on stuff that has nothing to do with citizens in our country, has nothing to do with the middle-class citizens in my state of Ohio or all across this country, and ladies and gentlemen, it has to stop. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of being told that we have to care more about people 6,000 miles away than we do people like my mom, my grandparents, and all the kids that are affected by this [border] crisis . [Emphasis added]
Indeed, 81 percent of CPAC attendees said illegal immigration to the U.S. is a “greater problem” for Americans than the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In addition, an Associated Press-NORN poll last week found that 76 percent of Republicans do not want the U.S. to be majorly involved in the conflict.
Vance detailed three policy prescriptions to aid in the opioid epidemic and border crisis, including declaring the Mexican drug cartels “a terrorist organization,” requiring proof of American citizenship to collect welfare, and cutting off federal funds to states giving foreign nationals the right to vote.
“Don’t send the military to Ukraine,” Vance said. “Send them to Mexico, and let’s fight back against this poison.”
“The working class hates the Democrats because the Democrats care more about illegal aliens than their own citizens … the working class hates the Democrats because the Democrats hate us and it’s time to stop,” Vance said.

Poll: Democrats Prefer Defending Ukrainians over American Border
Almost two-thirds of Democrats believe that defending distant Ukraine from the Russian invasion is more important than defending America’s border, communities, and workplaces from illegal migrants, according to a survey by Rasmussen Reports.
Fifty-seven percent of Democrats say “Defending Ukraine against Russian invasion” is “more important to America’s national interest” than the alternative of “defending the U.S. border against illegal immigration.” The February 23-24 survey included 1,000 likely voters.
In contrast, just 31 percent of Democrats favored defending the U.S. border, which is needed by their fellow citizens as they try to win good wages from employers, and as they try to buy decent housing near good schools.
Ideological liberals were even more likely to favor the defense of Ukraine over the American border, by 67 percent to 17 percent, or four to one.
February 23-24 survey of 1,000 likely voters, from Rasmussen Reports.
But GOP supporters favored defending the American border over Ukraine by four to one, or 74 percent to 18 percent. Ideological conservatives reported a similar 75 percent to 17 percent split.
Swing-voters strongly backed the defense of U.S. borders by 56 percent to 33 percent.
Latino and Asian voters picked the U.S. border defense over Ukraine by 63 percent to 28 percent.
The poll also showed an economic divide.
Just 31 percent of people who earn between $50,000 and $100,000 favored the defense of Ukraine, while 59 percent favored the defense of their own border.
However, wealthier Americans split evenly: 46 percent for Ukraine 50 percent for the U.S. border.
The survey result matches other polls showing how ideological liberals are less willing to ally with ordinary Americans than with distant foreigners. This ideological preference for “telescopic charity” is very different from conservatives, who simultaneously sympathize with distant victims but also prioritize circles of people closer to home — first family, then relatives, neighbors, same-county residents, and then fellow nationals. But this reluctance to defend their national border is tied to progressives’ eagerness to use immigrants to help them win political supremacy over ordinary Americans.
Since at least 1990, the federal government has tried to extract people from poor countries so they can serve U.S. investors as cheap workers, government-aided consumers, and high-density renters in the U.S. economy. That economic strategy has no stopping point , and it is harmful to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities and their wages while it also raises their housing costs .
The federal government’s wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of media-ignored polls . The polls show deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
The opposition is growing , anti-establishment , multiracial , cross-sex , non-racist , class-based , bipartisan , rational , persistent , and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another:
CPAC Straw Poll: 8-in-10 Call Illegal Immigration a ‘Greater Problem’ for U.S. than Russia-Ukraine Conflict CBP 2:13
The Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) annual straw poll reveals that more than 8-in-10 attendees call illegal immigration to the United States a “greater problem” for the nation than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The poll found that 81 percent of CPAC attendees consider illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border to be a larger threat to the U.S. than the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Only 16 percent said the Russia-Ukraine conflict was a larger threat to the U.S.
Currently, President Joe Biden is asking officers with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to volunteer to leave their posts at the southern border to deploy to Poland to assist with evacuating Americans, green card-holders, and family members of American citizens from Ukraine.

Likewise, CPAC attendees consider immigration to be the second most important issue facing the nation, with 48 percent, running only behind election integrity at 49 percent.
The result comes as CPAC hosted a single panel titled “The Invasion” on February 24 that centered on border-related issues while issues around the nation’s overall legal immigration levels, visa programs, and Biden’s historic resettlement of Afghans across American communities were excluded.

Last week, an Associated Press-NORC poll found that nearly two-in-three Republican voters are “extremely or very concerned” about illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and consider it a direct threat to their interests.
Meanwhile, just 22 percent of Republicans said they want the U.S. to play a “major role” in the Russia-Ukraine conflict while 76 percent said the U.S. ought to play a “minor role” or “no role” at all.
The poll, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, included more than 2,500 CPAC attendees from February 24 to February 27.

Meth disguised as onions in California drug bust Donald Trump: Democrats Claim Ukraine’s Borders ‘Sacred’ While Destroying Our Own
Democrats have rushed to declare Ukraine’s borders sacred while destroying our own borders, former President Donald Trump said Saturday.
“What has happened in Ukraine is a catastrophic disaster. But it isn’t really that interesting that so many Democrat politicians in Washington, they seem to be rushing to microphones to declare that Ukraine’s borders are sacred,” he told the audience during remarks given at CPAC in Orlando, Florida.
Trump continued:
They want to say their borders are sacred, and we feel for Ukraine in so many ways, but Ukraine’s sovereignty must be defended at all costs, they say, even while they’re destroying our own borders and surrendering our own sovereignty. We have a border that’s a catastrophe. We have people coming into our country that we don’t want. They will not be good for our country.
Meanwhile, House Democrats have joined with several open borders organizations, some of which are financially tied to billionaire George Soros, in working to stop the surveilling of illegal aliens who crossed the border into the United States, Breitbart News exclusively reported Wednesday.
Per the article:
In a letter drafted by Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Chuy Garcia (D-IL), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), the House Democrats go after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency’s Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) that monitors and tracks nearly 151,000 border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior while awaiting their immigration court hearings.
However, Trump noted on Saturday, “The most important duty of every elected lawmaker is to protect and defend America, and that begins with protecting and defending America’s borders.”
He said under Joe Biden’s leadership, “we’re losing our country,” adding the Biden administration “spent months obsessing over how to stop an invasion of a foreign country, thousands of miles away.”
“You can’t defend western civilization if you would not be able to defend your own civilization. And that means we need borders that work, elections that are fair and free and not rigged, and crime that must be immediately stopped in our cities,” he commented.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Defense Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, recently said officials gave 18,000 submachine guns and ammunition to civilians and militia members after Russian leader Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of country on Thursday.
HIGHLY GRAPHIC! IMAGES OF AMERICA UNDER LA RAZA MEX OCCUPATION… gruesome! B EHEADINGS LONG U.S. OPEN BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX: The La Raza Heroin Cartels Take the Border and Leave HeadsEXCLUSIVE: Mexican Cartel Terrorizes Border City After Cops Arrest, Surrender Fugitive to U.S. Authorities U.S. Customs and Border Protection 4:08
The arrest in Mexico and repatriation of a U.S.-born Gulf Cartel member who had pending warrants in Texas on murder charges triggered a violent response by the criminal organization.
The case began last week when U.S. authorities received information that Obed Pena, who was wanted in Texas on murder charges, was living in Tamaulipas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed in a statement.
On Thursday Tamaulipas state authorities captured Pena in the town of Diaz Ordaz. Mexican officials coordinated with CBP for his repatriation to the United States.
Information shared with Breitbart Texas by Tamaulipas state authorities revealed that during the arrest, they seized three vehicles, three radios, and several makeshift road spikes.
Pena is wanted in connection with a 2021 Hidalgo County murder. Breitbart Texas confirmed with various U.S. and Mexican law enforcement agencies that Pena was a local leader with the Gulf Cartel in the areas west of the border city of Reynosa.
By Thursday afternoon, Gulf Cartel gunmen began a series of attacks throughout Reynosa. The cartel focused on shooting out police surveillance cameras and used large trucks in an attempt to knock down the concrete poles used to hold the cameras, information provided to Breitbart Texas by the Tamaulipas government revealed.
Gunmen also carried out similar attacks in the cities of Diaz Ordaz, Miguel Aleman, and Camargo. The attacks continued into Friday night and early Saturday morning. Various videos on social media showed cartel members using stolen buses and trucks to ram the poles used to hold the police cameras.
While local residents reported hearing numerous shots being fired throughout the city, authorities claim that on Thursday night, no clashes took place between Gulf Cartel gunmen and authorities. They also claimed there have been no reports of injuries in Reynosa during the attacks.
By Friday morning, Mexican soldiers clashed with cartel gunmen in the city of Miguel Aleman whre they tried to remove blockades set up by the cartel.
Gulf Cartel gunmen also placed several banners throughout the region addressed to Mexican President Lopez Obrador, where they claim Tamaulipas Governor Francisco Cabeza de Vaca and his state police forces have been terrorizing the region.
Cabeza de Vaca called the Gulf Cartel actions a series of vandalism attacks in response to operations against criminal activity.
“We are not going to give up a single space to the criminal groups we are going to move forward firmly and with determination” Cabeza de Vaca responded in a prepared statement shared with news outlets. “In other parts of the country, they act differently, not here in Tamaulipas.”

Report: Biden to Divert Agents from U.S. Southern Border, Send Them to ‘Assist’ with Russia-Ukraine Conflict Brandon Bell/BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images 2:30
President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to divert United States Border Patrol agents from their mission at the U.S.-Mexico border to send them overseas “to assist” those fleeing from Ukraine amidst Russia’s invasion, a new report states.
Even as illegal immigration continues pouring through the nation’s southern border at record levels, Biden hopes to entice Border Patrol agents to sign up voluntarily to aid American citizens, green card-holders, and their immediate relatives fleeing Ukraine into Eastern Europe.
John Solomon at Just The News, who exclusively obtained the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) memo, detailed the effort dubbed “Operation Support Ukraine:”
“The Office of Field Operations is seeking volunteers to assist with the possible evacuation of U.S. citizens , lawful permanent residents, and their immediate family members from Ukraine.,” the memo sent to field operations executives said. [Emphasis added]
“Eligible employees who volunteer for this situation may be selected to serve a temporary duty assignment in Poland to facilitate travelers for entry into the U.S., to include providing guidance and problems resolution to other government agencies.” [Emphasis added]
…
The memo said volunteers need to be ready to deploy “within 2-3 days” of selection and should plan for about a month’s work overseas . It also offered a plan for COVID-19 mitigation that said workers need to either have the vaccine or natural immunity from a recent infection. [Emphasis added]
Last month, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 154,000 border crossers. Roughly 2.1 million border crossers and illegal aliens are expected to arrive at the southern border this year.
Since October, according to Fox News’s Adam Shaw, about 220,000 border crossers successfully crossed into the U.S. via the southern border, undetected by Border Patrol.
In January, alone, the Biden administration released more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior. Border Patrol agents have blasted Biden’s policies, which they say have made illegal immigration close to unmanageable.
