JD Vance continues to walk into the lion’s den, doing one confrontational interview after another with various mainstream press outlets. The latest occurred in a sitdown with The New York Times, where Vance was peppered with questions about his views on illegal immigration.
During a discussion on the topic, Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro brought out an old mainstay among those who support illegal immigration, telling the vice presidential nominee that deportations can’t happen because illegal immigrants are needed to build houses. Vance quickly turned the tables on her, though.
