Vivek Ramaswamy’s stance on illegal immigration sparks debate- a hardline approach emphasizing “rule of law”. Former presidential candidate and Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy’s proposed solution to illegal immigration in the United States is indeed a contentious and polarizing one. His call to “stand for the rule of law” and utilize the military to secure the border reflects a hardline approach to immigration enforcement that prioritizes strict adherence to legal channels for entry into the country. However, his recommendations, which include mass deportations, defunding sanctuary cities, and ending birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants, raise significant ethical and practical concerns. And many lament it as scary. “I say this as the kid of legal immigrants: stand for the rule of law. Use our own military to secure our own border. Start the mass deportations. End funding for sanctuary cities & Central American countries,” Ramaswamy stated. “End birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal aliens.” The idea of discarding the due citizenship of the children born to “undocumented immigrants” is particularly troubling as this will undo the idea and base of American citizenship and possibly be a question mark over the future of a lot of individuals. The Fourteenth Amendment to US Constitution, ratified in 1868, upholds birthright citizenship as the central part of American identity and values cherished and protected by many.
