JD Vance confronted by Indian-origin woman student on immigration

A tense moment unfolded at a university event in the US when a woman, likely of Indian origin, asked pointed questions to Vice President JD Vance over the Trump administration’s hardline immigration stance and his own interfaith family. The incident happened when JD Vance was addressing students at an event at the University of Mississippi.

An advocate of a strict vetting process, Vance batted for limiting legal immigration to the US. While he didn’t provide an exact number of legal immigrants that should be welcomed into the US, Vance said it should be “far less than what is being accepted”.

As he took questions from the audience, the Indian-origin woman probed Vance on his stance on legal immigration. A video of her pointed questions to the US Vice President has now gone viral.

In her long-winded question, the woman, draped in what seemed like a Kashmiri pashmina shawl, stressed that they had been encouraged and sold the “American dream” only to be later told that immigration levels were “too high”.

“When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide that number? You made us spend our youth, our wealth in this country and gave us a dream. You don’t owe us anything. We have worked hard for it,” the woman asked.

Her pointed questions come against the backdrop of the Trump administration carrying out mass deportations of illegals and imposing restrictions on legal immigration.

“How can you, as a vice president, stand there and say that ‘We have too many of them now, and we are going to take them out’ to people who are here rightfully so by paying the money that you guys asked us? You gave us the path, and now how can you stop it and tell us we don’t belong here anymore?” she further said.
