Sen. JD Vance at a Tucson rally Wednesday blamed migrants for a pile of social woes and promised mass deportations if Donald Trump returns to the White House.
“Pack your bags, because in four months you’re going home,” the senator said, addressing migrants in the country illegally.
Vance spent a good deal of time at the rally blaming Kamala Harris for a "wide open border" that he said has fed into problems like a lack of affordable housing and the rising cost of living.
Latinos should be “pissed off” about the border situation, he told a crowd of a few hundred people at Tucson Speedway, a race track southeast of Tucson.
He said Harris is to blame for “this country not doing as well as it should,” citing the “historic border crisis,” crime and drug trafficking.

He also told the crowd that despite her claims of a fresh start, Harris would likely mirror the policies of President Joe Biden.
“We got conflicts breaking out all over the world and Kamala Harris has the audacity to say that on day one she’s gonna work to make the world more peaceful and more secure,” said Vance.
“Well Kamala, day one was 1,400 days ago. What the hell have you been doing the whole time? Stop talking about fixing these problems and start actually doing something.”
Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, is set to speak later at a rally in Tucson.
