Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy outlined a “pragmatic” immigration policy, proposing to deport undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, aiming for what he claims would be the “largest mass deportation in history.”

He advocates cutting all federal aid for undocumented immigrants, including funding for sanctuary cities, hoping this will lead to “millions of self-deportations.”

While he didn’t rule out deporting Dreamers, Ramaswamy emphasized adherence to the law as the child of legal immigrants.

When a second generation immigrant calls for deportation of immigrants, you have to wonder how much they hate their parents.
