Vance Warns of Europe’s Immigration Crisis
Vice President JD Vance delivered a sobering assessment of Europe’s immigration policies during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. His remarks highlighted growing concerns within the Trump administration about the direction of traditional American allies under globalist leadership.
“They are unable or unwilling – too many countries – to control their borders,” Vance said about our European allies.
The Vice President specifically singled out Germany, warning that continued mass immigration from incompatible cultures could have devastating consequences.
“Germany will have killed itself, and I hope they don’t do that because I love Germany, and I want Germany to thrive,” Vance remarked.
J.D. Vance’s warning about Europe’s “civilizational suicide” through open borders and free speech crackdowns is a brutal truth Europe can’t dodge. He’s dead right—those policies are a slow bleed, gutting their identity and security. America, under Trump’s lead, can’t swoop in and… pic.twitter.com/ddEBH7T0lQ

Well, he’s not wrong.
Free Speech Concerns Across the Atlantic
Beyond immigration, Vance expressed alarm at what he described as growing censorship in European countries. He pointed to concerning trends of governments limiting citizens’ speech, particularly regarding protests against mass immigration.
The Vice President connected these free speech issues directly to the populist movements sweeping across Western nations.
“You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens even as those citizens are protesting against things like the border invasion that got [US President] Donald Trump and a number of European leaders elected,” Vance observed.
According to reports, Vance’s comments stirred immediate controversy across Europe and led to an emergency EU summit. Several European leaders pushed back against his characterization, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who insisted, “We’ve had free speech for a very, very long time in the United Kingdom and it will last for a very, very long time.”
But the UK literally doesn’t have free speech – as seen when hundreds of people were locked up for Twitter and social media posts since the new left-wing Labour government came into power.
A Call for European Self-Determination
Despite the controversy, Vance emphasized his critique stemmed from a desire to see Europe succeed rather than falter. He highlighted the deep historical and cultural connections between Europe and the United States as fundamental to Western civilization.
“The entire idea of Christian civilization that led to the founding of the United States of America was formed in Europe. The cultural bonds, the religious bonds – these things are going to last beyond political disagreements,” the Vice President explained.
Vance concluded his remarks with a call for Europe to chart its own course while respecting its heritage and sovereignty. “I want Europe to thrive. I want them to be an important ally,” he said.
Meanwhile, left-wing media outlets have desperately tried to paint Vance as anti-Europe. Do they realize they’re lying or are they just delusional?
