Vance declared that Democrats care more about illegal aliens and Ukraine\u2019s shared border with Russia than working-class Americans at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Vance, the <em>New York Times<\/em> best-selling author of \u201cHillbilly Elegy,\u201d said Democrats and establishment Republicans \u201cwho fail to do anything to stop them\u201d are more concerned with the well-being of foreign nationals and foreign countries than the quality of life of the nation\u2019s working and middle class.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Working people have turned against the Dems because the Dems have turned against them.

Vance (@JDVance1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JDVance1\/status\/1497752659767480327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The nation\u2019s ongoing opioid epidemic, where more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/17\/cdc-drug-overdoses-reach-record-high-under-joe-biden\/\">100,000 Americans<\/a> died from drug overdoses from 2020 to 2021, is just one example, according to Vance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest ways that the Democrats have failed the working class, have failed the citizens of this country, is that they don\u2019t even care about their citizens compared to the illegal aliens flowing across the U.S. southern border,\u201d Vance said:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Now the Democrats always say that their border policies are compassionate. We know that\u2019s a joke. <strong>There\u2019s nothing compassionate about letting drug cartels and sex traffickers control our country as if it were a third-world backwater country<\/strong>. [Emphasis added]\n<p><strong>I want to tell you a story about exactly what the Democrats\u2019 border policies do to communities<\/strong> and the people like mine, the people that we fight for as conservatives. <strong>I got a phone call about 10 years ago actually and she told me that my mom, my beloved mom, had just had a heroin overdose and was in a coma<\/strong> and was in a hospital just outside of Cincinnati. And I remember thinking to myself that whether she woke up from that coma \u2026 she would never meet the grandchildren that my wife and I would eventually have. [Emphasis added]\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m proud to say that about four weeks ago \u2026\u00a0<strong>we celebrated my mom\u2019s 7-year medallion ceremony where she has been clean and sober for seven years<\/strong>. [Emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf 10 years ago, the stuff that my mom took that put her in a coma was the Mexican fentanyl coming across in 2022, we would have never had those second chances, we would have never had that opportunity to have another seven years with my mom clean and sober,\u201d Vance continued.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Vance said Democrats and establishment Republicans have been increasingly interested in foreign affairs halfway around the globe at the expense of working and middle-class American communities.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s recent invasion of Ukraine and Biden\u2019s deploying U.S. troops to Poland, Vance said, is only the latest instance where the globalist priorities of the nation\u2019s ruling class have superseded the interests of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a lot of flack in the last week because I had the audacity to suggest that before our leaders obsess over a Ukrainian-Russian border over 6,000 miles away, maybe they better guarantee the sovereignty of their own country and their own border first,\u201d Vance said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The reason I say that is because we have a leadership in this country that is constantly focused on stuff that has nothing to do with citizens in our country, has nothing to do with the middle-class citizens in my state of Ohio or all across this country, and ladies and gentlemen, it has to stop. I\u2019m sick of it. <strong>I\u2019m sick of being told that we have to care more about people 6,000 miles away than we do people like my mom, my grandparents, and all the kids that are affected by this [border] crisis<\/strong>. [Emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/27\/cpac-straw-poll-8-in-10-call-illegal-immigration-a-greater-problem-for-u-s-than-russia-ukraine-conflict\/\">81 percent<\/a> of CPAC attendees said illegal immigration to the U.S. is a \u201cgreater problem\u201d for Americans than the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In addition, an Associated Press-NORN poll last week found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/24\/poll-gop-voters-focused-on-illegal-immigration-not-ukraines-borders\/\">76 percent<\/a> of Republicans do not want the U.S. to be majorly involved in the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Vance detailed three policy prescriptions to aid in the opioid epidemic and border crisis, including declaring the Mexican drug cartels \u201ca terrorist organization,\u201d requiring proof of American citizenship to collect welfare, and cutting off federal funds to states giving foreign nationals the right to vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t send the military to Ukraine,\u201d Vance said. \u201cSend them to Mexico, and let\u2019s fight back against this poison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe working class hates the Democrats because the Democrats care more about illegal aliens than their own citizens \u2026 the working class hates the Democrats because the Democrats hate us and it\u2019s time to stop,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
