Washington, October 30, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
US Vice President JD Vance has said the administration is targeting companies and corporate executives allegedly involved in visa fraud and replacing American employees with foreign workers, making job protection a central theme of his campaign address in Weatherford, Texas.
Vance said the government was pursuing companies and foreign corporations that laid off American workers and hired foreign labour in their place. He framed the action as part of a broader effort to put American workers at the centre of national economic policy.
“Sovereignty means American jobs got to go to American citizens,” he said.
Vance did not identify any companies, executives or nationalities, specify a visa category, or provide details of individual investigations or charges. His remarks also did not announce any new visa rules or changes to eligibility requirements.
Linking employment protection to trade and manufacturing, the Vice President said businesses seeking to expand should invest in the United States. He cited $670 billion in new manufacturing investment, referring to ports, refineries and factories, and credited Texas with helping drive the expansion.
He also extended his argument about economic sovereignty to housing, prescription medicines and household finances. Vance said the administration had acted against home purchases by Wall Street and foreign investors, presenting the approach as an effort to improve access to housing for American families.
The Vice President highlighted tax relief on tips and overtime, benefits for senior citizens and expanded support for families with young children. He argued that domestic manufacturing, energy production and housing construction would help create stable employment opportunities closer to people’s homes.
Drawing on his upbringing in Ohio, Vance recalled his grandmother sometimes having to choose between buying medicine and food. He said he wanted younger generations to have opportunities to build careers, buy homes and raise families without facing similar financial pressures.
Vance urged voters to support candidates who would continue the administration’s policies, arguing that further tax relief and industrial expansion depended on the election outcome.
He was campaigning in Weatherford for Ken Paxton’s US Senate bid. The address combined appeals for Republican votes with arguments on employment, border enforcement, energy production and the cost of living.
