JD Vance is just saying that having a border and protecting it IS the compassionate thing to do. It’s not compassionate to aid and abet child traffickers. The article didn’t say that he said an additional thing: it’s not compassionate to let the cartels control who gets in and rape women as part of the cost. For being a champion of women Kamala sure isn’t too bothered about the rape trees. Or about the women raped and killed by the criminals she’s letting g in.
Not to mention the billions of dollars of drug traffic that an open border promotes.
The first thing we will do is close the border and stop the bleeding. Then we will begin the kicking the illegals out, starting with the known criminals.
And yes - shutting down the border is the compassionate thing to do - for those trying to enter our country illegally. (I wonder how many die on the way to the USA, and/or die in the desert SW USA?). Vance IIRC has also spoken about getting Mexico to honor their commitment to strengthen Mexico's SOUTHERN border to keep all of the central American people from getting to the USA.
Vance recognizes that human trafficking is not compassionate.
