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.

I would put you in a cabinet role sooner. Even though I only know you from words, at least longer than I know Smarmy from words lolz

[Right Wing Vegan]

Trump spoke plainly despite it being risky at the time. Smarmy speaks plainly because now it seems popular.

If asked, I will not serve. ;)

As I understand, the Amendment which allows anchor baby citizenship was added to give citizenship to freed slaves. And a court case extended it foreign nationals having a baby on US soil. I believe the proper case could reverse the earlier decision.

“ Parents being deported will want their children to come with them, of course.”

I used to think that. But if you remember during the Obama years parents of central American children were sending their kids to the US *unaccompanied* in the hopes some day they would be able to follow them to the US. Tens of thousands arrived this way.

Paul ryan, Jeff sessions,, Bill Barr all talked tough till the rubber hit the road.

I don’t beleive this is anything more than

.” the checks in the mail I love you vote for me then shut up pay taxes give me your kids to piddle then drop dead “

He ain’t no trump or Paxton.

And tens of thousands of those kids disappeared during Obummer and Brandon’s tenures and NOBODY knows where they are. Pedo trafficking.

Unfortunately I am forced to agree.

Romney Swami had "earned" 1 million dollars the year the Soros family gave him $40k for school.

I know they (Soros family) say lots of things about how they always give this money to (disadvantaged) children of immigrants but I am sure I could find other Soros money going to his parents as well.

But Soros is a figurehead, he enjoys his position as much as Epstein did, but they are also only well compensated actors who enjoy their positions.

I know a lot of .Indians who are very well compensated for their work, and honestly some of them are smarter than I am I enjoyed talking with them (some .indian women as well) but the women were always treated like crap but they worked much harder than the men.

The other thing I noticed is that once they get into some kind of management position they would always hire a .indian before anyone else. I worked in a large building once where there were 5% natural citizens besides .indian there were a lot of Chinese, and also a lot of people from europe including the former soviet union, but they all tended to be the best and brightest.

but it was the .Indians and Chinese who increased as everyone else was pushed out.

I am sure Vivek is extremely smart, but I think he is a puppet and he likes it.

just like this other Vivek puppet.

Legally they would be dual citizens of the US and their parent’s nation.

They would be remanded to their deported parent’s custody.

When they are of age, they can return to the US if they choose to retain their US citizenship.

He can’t. That is a direct violation of the Constitution and will take about 5 minutes for a judge to overturn. Besides, he’s a son of two immigrants from India not yet citizens and was born in the US. Does he have to go also?

I agree.

Good idea.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I’m all for it, like lots of other things that will never happen.

[Salman]

Is that legal?

[Brian Griffin]

Mommy and Daddy have no constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on a public road, get an occupational or business license, possess or consume intoxicates, or get to take tax deductions.

Refugees and asylees have no constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on a public road, possess or consume intoxicates, or to get to take tax deductions.

[NWFree]

He can wave his magic wand and change all the laws on the books at once

[Brian Griffin]

“Just deport the illegal alien parents.”

It’s not clear the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights permits that.

“Article 23
1. The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.”

There always the option of making Mommy and Daddy Ilictos employment compensation non-deductible for the employer.

Folks are going to have to test that ICCPR rule soon in CA as Newsom soon signs passed bill forcing judges to separate kids from parents if they don’t affirm gender whims.
