Debatable is Vivek Ramaswamy’s tough attitude on illegal immigration, which emphasizes the “rule of law.”
The method that Indian-American businessman and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has suggested to end illegal immigration in the US is divisive and controversial.
His demand that people “stand for the rule of law” and use the armed forces to guard the border is indicative of a tough stance on immigration enforcement that places a premium on close adherence to the accepted routes of entry into the nation. His suggestions, however, create serious moral and practical issues. These include eliminating birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, defunding sanctuary communities, and mass deportations. And lots of people bemoan it being terrifying.
As the child of law-abiding immigrants, let me say this: uphold the constitution. Guard our own borders with the help of our own troops. Let the mass exodus begin. Ramaswamy declared, “Cease funding for sanctuary cities and Central American nations.”
“Take away the children of illegal aliens’ birthright citizenship.”
The notion that children born to “undocumented immigrants” should not be granted their rightful citizenship is especially alarming since it undermines the foundation of American citizenship and may cast doubt on the future of many people. Birthright citizenship is upheld by the US Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment, which was passed in 1868 and is widely regarded as an essential component of American identity and ideals.
A major weakness in the system is the US’s open border policy.
While professionals such as foreign media, scientists, and engineers must wait more than 500 days and sometimes even more than 100 years for their visas to be approved through a five-stage application process, others attempt to enter the country illegally by taking advantage of an important loophole in the immigration laws of the United States, known as the open border. This absurd dualism is a reflection of the flawed immigration laws in the United States, which favor illegal immigration while punishing lawful immigration.
India now ranks third among undocumented immigrants in the US, according to a Pew Research Center research, with a 70% increase in the population since 2011.
