Vivek Ramaswamy's Staunch Support for Trump's Immigration Policy

Vivek Ramaswamy, a top Indian-American aide to Donald Trump, openly supports the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, emphasizing the need to restore the rule of law. He heralds Trump’s focus on uniting the country and discusses the evolving ethos of the Republican Party under Trump's leadership.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a prominent Indian-American advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, has vocally backed plans for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, calling the U.S. immigration system 'broken'. He articulated that individuals who unlawfully entered the nation have no entitlement to remain and need to depart.

Speaking with ABC News, the entrepreneur-turned-politician stressed the need to reestablish the rule of law pragmatically. He suggested that many recent immigrants who haven't established roots, and those who've committed crimes, should be deported, leading to what could be the largest mass deportation, possibly prompting self-deportation due to the cessation of government aid for illegal inhabitants.

Ramaswamy has transitioned from being a Trump adversary in the Republican primaries to a fervent supporter and close ally. He reflects on Trump's post-election trajectory, noting the Republican Party's evolving character as a diverse, multi-ethnic working-class coalition advocating free speech, meritocracy, and constitutional principles, with Trump positioned to strengthen governance by prioritizing decisions supported by democratic processes.
