ORANGE CITY, IA -- Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says that as president, he would deport American-born children of undocumented immigrants.
"The family unit will be deported," said Ramaswamy when asked by NBC News if the deportations would include American-born children, after a packed town hall here Friday.
These children, however, are U.S. citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status. The 14th Amendment states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
When asked again if these children would be deported along with their families, Ramaswamy doubled down.
"That is correct," he said.
Ramaswamy, like some other conservatives, believes the 14th Amendment does not confer birthright citizenship.
"Under the legal theory that the child of an illegal immigrant is not someone who enjoys birthright citizenship, then it would be perfectly legally permissible to remove the entire family unit," he said.

NICE, although he’ll have to get some judges in place to give him permission.
Deport then to where?
Politicians can promise a lot, but it doesn’t mean they actually have the authority to do it.
Lol. Hmmm, I've got my melodies mixed up... just a tad.
Great idea. Too bad this indian is a liar and just says what people want to hear.
The reason The Swamp hated Trump so much is because he, unlike all other politicians, actually kept campaign promises.
“Come with me,” the Deep State fraud whispers, “I have candy for you and kittens you can cuddle.”
Or the intention. Con-men like Ramaxxx are good at lying. It's their life's work.
Just deport the illegal alien parents. If they want to take their (former) anchor baby offspring with them fine. Otherwise it’s off to foster care for the no-longer-anchoring offspring.
Parents being deported will want their children to come with them, of course.
Anything else would be monstrous to abandon them in a foreign country.
Who cares, as long as they are out of here.
Yes but I like the way he thinks. The more time goes by with these parasites sucking the lifesblood out of us, the more likely masssive deportation will be.
Yep.
I would have no problem with him in a Cabinet role, there he can prove himself, for down the road.
VIVEK also has NOT CLEARED UP QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS NATURAL BORN CITIZEN STATUS.
Because he hasn’t not done so, I am more convinced every day that he is an ANCHOR baby-—NOT NBC.
EXACLY!
Don’t buy the lies!
He wouldn’t be able to do it, but it pushes the conversation in the right direction.
I remember Obama promising some package of abortion rights when he ran in 2008. He never did any of those things.
Why don’t other politicians speak so plainly as Vivek? You do remember Trump promised to jail Hilliary, right.
