Vice President J.D. Vance delivered fiery remarks during a visit to Peachtree City, Georgia, on Thursday, August 21, where he spoke at ALTA Refrigeration Inc.

Addressing concerns about his position on healthcare and Medicaid, Vance drew a sharp distinction between U.S. citizens and undocumented immigrants.

“It’s not about kicking people off of health care,” Vance said. “It’s about kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country.”

The vice president’s statement was met with strong reactions, aligning with the administration’s hardline stance on immigration enforcement. Supporters praised the comments as a defense of American taxpayers, while critics argue the rhetoric further fuels division over immigration policy.

The remarks come as immigration remains a central issue in the 2025 political landscape, with the administration vowing to strengthen border security and remove undocumented migrants living in the United States.
