JD Vance Blames Immigration Policies for Violent Protests in France

U.S. Vice President JD Vance condemned violent protests in France, urging the country to "stop this madness" after looters targeted luxury stores, and blamed Western immigration policies for the unrest. In a post on X, Vance argued that liberal policies on immigration and diversity ignored assimilation and compatibility, claiming this led to the violence. He also warned Americans that this is the future congressional Democrats seek for the U.S. The protests, sparked by cost-of-living and government spending concerns, drew around 550,000 demonstrators nationwide. Looters hit Apple, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès stores in Bordeaux, while arson and vandalism occurred in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to vow legal consequences.
