Vice President JD Vance called out hecklers during his latest National League of Cities speech.
A heckler in the crowd interrupted Vance’s speech when he began to speak about how the influx of immigration has caused a higher cost of living in the United States.
In response to the heckler, Vance stated, “I see one of our nice representatives out here actually wants to actually, I guess, continue to flood the country with illegal immigrants, making your communities and citizens unaffordable.”
He added, “But ma’am, with all respect, one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing is we want to make [the country] more affordable for Americans to live. That is one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing.”
Here’s what The Daily Caller reported:
Vice President JD Vance called out hecklers who shouted at him for pointing out the negative consequences illegal immigration has on Americans’ livelihoods during his Monday speech at the National League of Cities.
The first heckler began shouting at the vice president as he pointed out a correlation between a mass influx in immigration and a rise in housing prices. In response, Vance stated that President Donald Trump’s administration is cracking down on illegal immigration in order to “make it more affordable for Americans to live.”
“I see one of our nice representatives out here actually wants to actually, I guess, continue to flood the country with illegal immigrants, making your communities and citizens unaffordable,” Vance said in response to the heckler. “But ma’am, with all respect, one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing is we want to make [the country] more affordable for Americans to live. That is one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing.”

During a speech to the National League of Cities in Washington, D.C., Vance linked immigration to housing costs.
“But, I actually want to focus on something a little bit different because I think this is one of the areas where what the Trump administration can do and has done is going to be one of the major drivers of bringing down the cost of housing,” he said. “But I think it’s important to talk about the demand side of the housing market, and so much of what we’re doing in the Trump administration when it comes to the immigration issue is framed about law enforcement, about reducing fentanyl coming into our communities.”
