Trump administration sets lowest-ever cap on refugee admissions to U.S.

J.D. Vance said, “We have got to become a common community again, and you can’t do that when you have such high numbers of immigration.” I think it is pretty clear what he means by “common,” and it is not a vision of multicultural beloved community.
