Vance goes full D-bag on a student who asks him about his girlfriend, a LEGAL immigrant seeking a green card [View all]
Vance spoke at a Turning Point USA rally on Ole Miss' campus. During a question-and-answer segment, one student asked about Vance's views on legal immigration and a merit-based immigration system. The student also mentioned that his girlfriend is a legal immigrant studying at the school who wants a green card.

"...right now we have let in too many immigrants to the United States," Vance said. "That is just a fundamental reality."
"You asked about your girlfriend, and I don't know the full details of your situation, but my view is that there are people who want to come to the United States and enrich America, but we have got to get our overall numbers way down," Vance said. "I am married to the daughter of immigrants...I do believe that some immigrants can come here and enrich America."
"But, here's the problem. We don't even know how many illegal aliens we have," Vance said. "I've heard estimates as high as 50 million. When something like that happens, you have to let your society cohere a little bit and find a sense of identity, for all the newcomers to assimilate into American culture. Until you do that, you have to be careful about any additional immigration."
