Vivek Ramaswamy Says Migrant Children Shouldn’t Be Granted U.S. Citizenship | The Left Wing 22.2
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy vowed to go a “step further” than his Republican rivals, leaning on his agenda to end birthright citizenship if he wins the White House — a promise reminiscent of former President Trump’s. “I favor ending birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal immigrants in this country,” Ramaswamy said. “Now, the left will howl about the Constitution and the 14th Amendment. The difference between me and them is I’ve actually read the 14th amendment.” “So nobody believes that the kid of a Mexican diplomat in this country enjoys birthright citizenship. Not a judge or legal scholar in this country will disagree with me on that,” Ramaswamy added. “Well, if the kid of a Mexican diplomat doesn’t enjoy birthright citizenship, then neither does the kid of an illegal immigrant who broke the law to come here.” The 14th Amendment — approved in 1866 to guarantee citizenship and equal rights for those who were formerly enslaved — grants citizenship to all “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The Supreme Court ruled in 1898 that the 14th Amendment applies to children regardless of their parents’ immigration status.
