United States Vice President JD Vance has argued that reducing immigration is the most effective way to combat antisemitism in the country. Responding to concerns about rising antisemitism among younger Americans, Vance stated that demographic changes, rather than ideology or age, are a key factor in the increase of antisemitic sentiment. He distinguished between criticism of Israel and antisemitism, emphasizing that not all anti-Israel views are inherently antisemitic. Vance's remarks come amid ongoing debate within the Republican Party about addressing antisemitism, as well as the Trump administration's broader efforts to restrict immigration and scrutinize newcomers for antisemitic beliefs.

Recent research cited by Vance suggests that foreign origin is a stronger predictor of antisemitism than political ideology or generational differences. This perspective has drawn criticism from Jewish organizations, many of which have historically supported pro-immigrant policies, and comes as the party faces internal divisions over how to confront antisemitic attitudes among its younger members.
