VP Vance doubles down on WH's 'ambitious' goal to get criminal migrants off the streets: 'Policy matters'

Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration is doing exactly what it said it would with regard to the nationwide U.S. Immigration and Customs EnforcementΒ (ICE) raids targeting migrants who have committed crimes.

Vance told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday the White House has an "ambitious" goal of getting criminal migrants off the street at a rate of nearly 2,000 per day.

"If you think [about it], we've got 20 plus millionΒ illegal aliens in this country. We have got to get these people out of our country and regain control of our own border," he said in a sit-down interview from the nation’s capital on "Hannity."Β 

The number of migrants arriving at the southern border since Trump took office last week has dropped dramatically by more than 60%.

DataΒ obtained by Fox News Digital shows there were roughly 7,200 migrant encounters in Trump’s first seven days in office, compared to more than 20,000 in former President Biden’s final seven days.Β 

"I guarantee we're going to cut it even further," Vance said of the more than 60% decrease. "Policy matters. Elections have consequences and President Trump ran explicitly on regaining control of the border and redelivering American prosperity. That's exactly what we're doing."

Migrants are being repatriated to their home countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Ecuador.

"The take-home message here is, β€˜Not today. Not today, not tomorrow, not next week. Do not come to the United States and enter illegally,’" said U.S. Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Hamid Nikseresht after more than 80 illegal migrants wereΒ loaded onto a C-17 military plane and deported from El Paso, Texas, back to Ecuador.

Vance took aim at the hysteria from the left over the mass deportation efforts, pointing to Trump’s win in November and his "mandate" from the American people.

"Now he's doing it," the former Ohio senator said aboutΒ Trump’s immigration crackdown. "That's how democratic politics in this country works and thank God for that."

The vice president made a shocking admission about the arrests of criminal migrants, telling Hannity the United States government, in some cases, knew their names and addresses.Β 

"We just needed to send somebody to go to their house and get them the hell out of the country," Vance said.Β 

"We've known at least that they had violent criminal backgrounds. And we haven't done anything until about eight days ago when Donald Trump became the President of the United States again. It really should shock the conscience of the American people."

SEAN HANNITY: This was the worst presidency in the modern era

Fox News host Sean Hannity says President Biden is getting worse every day as he prepares to leave office on "Hannity."Β 

SEAN HANNITY: Now, it's only a matter of days before Donald Trump gets sworn into office. Not a moment too soon. Joe Biden has never been fit to serve as president. Every day he's getting worse and worse.Β Β

TRUMP PLANNING TO LIFT BIDEN'S LNG PAUSE, INCREASE OIL DRILLING DURING 1ST DAYS IN OFFICE: REPORTΒ 

This is a pathetic end to, frankly, the worst presidency in the modern era. Joe Biden did not accomplish any of his stated goals. He certainly did not unite the country. He didn't rebuild the economy from the middle out and the bottom up. He didn't improve your life, America's standing around the world, in his final months in office.Β Β 

Biden has been singularly focused on three things: granting clemency to criminals (including his own son), handing out awards to Democratic mega-donors and radical leftist Hollywood celebrities (some of the most loathed, self-serving politicians in America), and, last but not least, whoever is running the show in the White House with Joe's approval has been up to their eyeballs and doing nothing but trying to sabotage the incoming Trump administration and his agenda at home and abroad.Β Β
