‘Why Did You Sell Us a Dream?’: Indian-Origin Woman Poses Tough Questions to JD Vance Over US Immigration Policy, His Wife Usha Vance’s Faith; Video Goes Viral

Mumbai, October 31: A video of an Indian-origin woman posing tough questions to US Vice President JD Vance about immigration has gone viral on social media. VP JD Vance was at “This Is the Turning Point” event at the University of Mississippi, where the woman accused him of “selling immigrants the American dream,” only to later restrict their opportunities through government-led immigration policies.

During the Q&A session, the woman voiced her frustration over what she described as hypocrisy in the government’s approach to immigration. Addressing JD Vance directly, she asked, “When you talk about too many immigrants being here, when did you decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You made us spend our youth and our wealth in this country and gave us a dream. You don’t owe us anything; we have worked hard for it.” ‘Hopeful My Wife Usha Vance Becomes Christian’, Says US Vice President JD Vance (Watch Video).

"How can you as a Vice President stand there and say that we have too many of them now and we are going to take them out to people who are here rightfully so by paying the money that you guys asked us? You gave us the path and now how can you stop it and tell us we don't belong here anymore?" she further asks.

JD Vance also tried to defend the US Immigration Policy, his household’s dynamics, and his wife Usha Vance's faith. “Everybody has to come to their own arrangement here. The way that we’ve come to our arrangement is that she’s my best friend. We talk to each other about this stuff. We’ve decided to raise our kids Christian. Our two oldest kids, who go to school, go to a Christian school. Our 8-year-old did his first communion about a year ago. That’s the way that we have come to our arrangement,” he said. US: JD Vance Recalls President Donald Trump Hitting ‘Nuclear’ Button During Serious Call To Summon Diet Coke, Says ‘That’s the Kind of Guy We Have as President’ (Watch Video).

“Now, most Sundays, Usha will come with me to church. As I’ve told her, and as I’ve said publicly, and as I’ll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, do I hope, eventually, that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved by in church? Yeah, I honestly do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way,” he expressed.
