Ramaswamy says he’d deport children of undocumented immigrants, calls 14th Amendment ‘contested’

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Friday he would deport the children of undocumented immigrants with their families, despite them already being U.S. citizens.

“There are legally contested questions under the 14th Amendment of whether the child of an illegal immigrant is indeed a child who enjoys birthright citizenship or not,” Ramaswamy said after a town hall in Iowa.

Ramaswamy is not the only GOP candidate to question U.S. citizenship rules. Former President Trump announced in late May that on his first day back in office, he would seek to end birthright citizenship by way of an executive order.

An immigrant, in a country of immigrants, deciding he doesn't like those that came after... 🤷🏼‍♂️

In the “Law and Order” party, but thinks you can override the Constitution by executive order

They are also strict constitutionalists except all the places they are strictly not.

Truly the story of America, but not in the good way.

Nah he isn’t an immigrant, he’s all ours. His parents are immigrants though. He’s as American as chili on spaghetti.

Nah he isn’t an immigrant, he’s all ours. His parents are immigrants though.

So he's trying to get rid of the way of getting citizenship as he got his?

Nuh uh I didn't see his long form birth certificate. He looks like a Ubeki-beki-bekistan.
