Vance says he will keep calling Haitian migrants ‘illegal aliens’ despite legal status
Fox News
Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance on Thursday said that he intends to keep calling Haitian migrants who entered the U.S. via parole "illegal aliens."
"The media loves to say that the Haitian migrants — hundreds of thousands of them, by the way, 20,000 in Springfield, but hundreds of thousands of them all across the country — they are here legally." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"And what they mean is that Kamala Harris used two separate programs, mass parole and Temporary Protected Status. She used two programs to wave a wand and to say, we're not going to deport those people here," he said. "Well, if Kamala Harris waves the wand illegally and says these people are now here legally, I'm still going to call them an illegal alien. An illegal action from Kamala Harris does not make any alien legal. That is not how this works. "
