James David Vance, US vice president, blames the Democrats for having allowed undocumented immigrants to enter the United States across the southern border in recent years, knowing that this would pose a risk to US citizens.

During an appearance on the program “The Ingraham Angle” which is broadcast by the Fox News television network, the second most authoritative man in the White House accused his political rivals of embracing the flag of communism using immigrants to fulfill their purpose.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's the path the Democrats are taking. And that's communism. This isn't raising taxes a little, no matter how much we don't agree. This is abolishing the police. This is letting criminals run wild in your cities. This is...flooding your country with poorly paid third-world immigrants," he said.

The Ohio politician warned that the shift experienced in the Democratic Party is a consequence of having allowed students and academics to take over positions that historically did not belong to them.

"It is a consequence of the fact that the Democratic Party has become led by universities and professors. These are not working-class or unionized Democrats," he warned.

Vance is convinced that the Democrats' new aspiration is to regain control of the government to destroy any progress made by the Trump administration.

"In essence, it's about the idea that the United States is an evil country that must be dismantled from its foundations and then rebuilt. That is communism at its core, and there is increasingly a trend in that direction on the part of the Democratic Party," he said.

Vance's comments arise from the results of some primary elections held in various parts of the country, where Democratic candidates linked to the left ended up surprising, showing that their party is undergoing a controversial transformation ahead of the midterm elections to be held next November.
