'Impeachable': JD Vance gets in hours-long spat as he opposes 'due process' for migrants

Vice President J.D. Vance took time out of his busy schedule for a lengthy argument against "due process" for migrants before they are deported.

"Consider that Joe Biden allowed approximately 20 million illegal aliens into our country," Vance wrote on X Tuesday. "To say the administration must observe 'due process' is to beg the question: what process is due is a function of our resources, the public interest, the status of the accused, the proposed punishment, and so many other factors."

"They don't want us to deport the people who've come into our country illegally. They want to accomplish through fake legal process what they failed to accomplish politically: The ratification of Biden's illegal migrant invasion," he continued. "President Trump and I will not stand for it."

Journalist Zaid Jilani noted that criminals deserved trials under the U.S. justice system.

"Saying you don't have to prove it means you're OK with deporting innocent people. Treating people like throwaways is no different than the elites in this country did to your own family over generations," Jilani pointed out.

"[O]ur very robust jury trial system produces errors," Vance shot back. "So I'm not 'OK with deporting innocent people' any more than I'm 'OK with sentencing innocent people.' What I am OK with is the reality that any human system will produce errors. Further, I accept the actual tradeoff: between not enforcing the law and enforcing the law. And I choose the latter despite the inevitable errors."

Filmmaker Leighton Woodhouse argued that immigration hearings "last a matter of minutes."

"You're deliberately misleading people into believing we'd be burdened with millions of O.J. Simpson trials instead of the rocket docket that immigration courts are," Woodhouse replied.

Vance, however, continued to fight with commenters on X by describing "burden of proof and a trial" as "preposterous."

"How does the standard you're proposing lead to anything other than a nullification of the election result?" the vice president snapped.

"I'm sick of abstract bull---- arguments. What your proposal does, whether you know it or not, is ratify the presence of millions of illegal aliens in our country. I reject that."

Vance's continued bickering was met with backlash from commenters.

"You are Vice President. Being against our Constitution and ignoring the Supreme Court are IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES," influencer Brian Krassenstein wrote.

"OK, you kinda look like a rapist to me," Jilani quipped. "I think we could give you a trial, but that's inefficient and would take a long time. Enjoy El Salvador."

"So let's be clear—your entire argument boils down to: 'There are too many people to process fairly, so let's just skip the Constitution,'" the popular X account @AgentSelf said. "That's not immigration policy, JD. That's authoritarianism with a fresh coat of white nationalism."
