Vance’s Bold Stand Against California’s Reckless Policy
Hold onto your steering wheels, folks—Vice President JD Vance just dropped a bombshell that’s got California’s sanctuary city cheerleaders sweating! On Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle,” Vance hinted at a federal smackdown, including yanking highway funds, to stop California from handing out driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants like they’re candy at a parade. Why? A tragic crash in Florida, caused by an illegal immigrant with a California-issued license who couldn’t read road signs, has ignited a firestorm. Buckle up for a wild ride through this controversy!
California’s License Fiasco Sparks Outrage
Vance didn’t mince words, calling out California’s sanctuary policies for putting American lives at risk. He pointed to a deadly incident where an illegal immigrant, licensed by California despite lacking basic English skills, killed three people in a Florida crash. “You need to read the language the road signs are written in,” Vance quipped, highlighting the absurdity of letting unqualified drivers loose. The federal government, he suggested, is eyeing a “whole host” of ways to make California rethink its reckless generosity.
Highway Funds as a Hammer for Sanctuary Cities
When host Laura Ingraham pressed Vance on using federal highway funds as leverage, he didn’t blink. “We have a lot of points of leverage here,” he said, teasing a plan to hit California where it hurts—its wallet. The idea? If states like California keep prioritizing illegal immigrants over citizens, they might find their road budgets running on fumes. It’s a cheeky move that’s got conservative hearts racing and progressive governors fuming.
The only major declared GOP candidate for governor so far is U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Naples, who also has decried California’s issuing a license to the driver. “(Three) innocent people were killed in St Lucie County because CA wrongly issued a driver’s license to an illegal alien. He shouldn’t have been here. He shouldn’t have received a license. THIS NEVER SHOULD’VE HAPPENED,” Donalds posted on X on Aug. 18.
Public Backing Is Key to Vance’s Plan
Vance isn’t just relying on federal muscle—he’s rallying the American people to back this crackdown. “We need the American people to stand with us,” he urged, framing California’s policies as a betrayal of citizens’ safety. With sanctuary cities under fire for enabling crime, Vance’s call to action is resonating, especially after the Florida tragedy exposed the real-world consequences of lax laws. Will the public’s outrage push California to hit the brakes?
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Vice President JD Vance responded to a question on revoking federal highway funds for states like California over it issuing a commercial driver’s license to an individual who “shouldn’t have been in the country, but now we come to find out, he can’t even read in the language the road signs are written in” by stating that “we are looking at a whole host of points of leverage we can exercise over California and other states to make sure they comply with the law.”
Why This Matters: Safety Over Sanctuary
This showdown isn’t just about licenses—it’s about who comes first: Americans or illegal immigrants. Vance’s push to hold sanctuary states accountable is gaining traction, with Breitbart reporting a 26% traffic surge and over 25,000 Facebook shares for the story in just 48 hours. The debate’s heating up, and it’s clear conservatives are cheering Vance’s tough stance. So, what’s next? Will California double down, or will federal pressure force a U-turn? What do you think: Should states face consequences for prioritizing illegal immigrants over public safety?
