We need you to do it,” Vance said. “It’s not specific to immigration, but let’s tackle this particular issue, Margaret.
“The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops actually took a little bit of a look in the mirror, and when they received over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns or are they actually I think we need to realize that we're concerned about the bottom line? We're going to enforce immigration laws. We're going to protect Americans,” Vance added.

“Donald Trump has promised that, and I think the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, if they're concerned about the humanitarian costs of immigration enforcement, will tell them, “If they're worried about the humanitarian costs of immigration enforcement, then they're going to have to do more for wide open borders.” “Let me tell you about trafficked children Joe Biden,” Vance continued.
“Let me talk about people like Laken Riley who were brutally murdered. I support law enforcement against,” Vance said.
Video footage aired on Fox News on Thursday showed ICE agents in Boston conducting raids and arresting illegal immigrants in the area. In one clip, a Haitian immigrant who is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years was seen being arrested, according to Fox's Bill Melgin.
