JD Vance speaks amidst the H-1B line: ‘The idea that American citizens do not have talent to do great work …’

Vice President JD Vance broke his silence amid controversy over the ongoing H -1B row and Donald Trump administration in universities. In an interview with The Newsmax, Wanes dismissed criticisms that Crackdown would lead to an academic brain drain in the US. “First, I have heard a lot of criticisms, fear that we are going to a brain drain,” Vance said. “If you go back in the ’50 and 60s, the American space program, which was a human being on the surface of the moon, was created by American citizens – some German and Jewish scientists who came during the Second World War, but mostly, built an incredible space program with American talent,” Vance said.“The idea that American citizens do not have the talent to do great work … do you have to import a foreign class [students] And professor to do these things? I just reject it. I think we should invest in our people. We can do very well. ,Vance’s comments came in the midst of a new line on H-1B as the USCIS revealed that they have selected 120.141 H-1B visa applications for 2026. Several companies, including Walmart, announced job cuts, angered American employees as they allege that the administration is not doing enough to keep the Americans first-the competence is still relying on cheap labor from outside. Moving on its second point, Vance defended action on universities and said, “These institutions do an important thing; but if you look at American higher education in the last 20 or 30 years, there are some inconsistent facts.”“No. 1, hard sciences, especially biology, we have a terrible called a reproductive crisis, which means that most papers that are published in biology are not repeated; they are not good sciences. So even our elite universities are often not doing good science.“Second important point, these institutions – sometimes by their own entry – attached to clear racial discrimination, often against whites and Asian people in clear violations of the Civil Rights Act. If people cannot come to the government, looking at those problems, and say, ‘Look, we have found some accountability here; you cannot violate civil rights,” he said.“We have got to make sure that if we are funding science with federal money, you are really good science. This is called accountability.”Vance said that this is not ‘fascism’ and if the American taxpayers are disappointed with these universities, they got them to improve. “What they are doing instead, many of them are doing and saying,” Hey, Trump Administration, this is dictatorial, it’s fascism. ” No, this is democratic accountability, and I think universities should see it as an opportunity.
