Vivek Ramaswamy Backs Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans, Calls US Legal Immigration System ‘Broke’

Washington: Vivek Ramaswamy, top Indian-American aid to President-elect Donald Trump , expressed his support for mass deportation plan of illegal immigrants and said that legal immigration system in country is "broken".

He said that those who broke law while entering United States have right to stay here and y need to go.

"Do we have a broken legal immigration system? Yes, we do. But I think first step is going to be to restore rule of law, to do it in a very pragmatic way,” entrepreneur turned-politician told ABC News in an interview.

“Those who have entered in last couple of years, y haven't established roots in country. Those who have committed a crime, should be out of this country. That is by millions. That alone would be largest mass deportation. Combine that with ending government aid for all illegals. You see self-deportations,” he said.

Ramaswamy appeared on multiple Sunday talk shows, first after stunning win of Donald Trump in vember 5 presidential elections. He told ABC News that he is having some “high impact” discussions on his future role in ministration, Congress of party.

From being a rival of Trump during Republican primaries, Ramaswamy has emerged as a staunch supporter and confidant of Trump.

“I think he cares about uniting country. I think that is Donald Trump's number one focus. I do think we have to get back to a place after this election after that decisive victory, which I do think was a gift to country, get back to a place where ordinary Americans who might have voted differently amongst ir family members or ir colleagues or ir neighbours, to be able to get toger at dinner table and say, we're still Americans at end of this, that's very much Donald Trump's he,” he said.

“He's also learned a lot from that first term, and I think he's going into this second term even to take to new heights some of things he wasn't able to accomplish in first term, which I think is going to be a good thing,” Ramaswamy said.

Republican Party, he said, is w a multi-ethnic working-class coalition. “You saw black voters, Hispanic voters, young voters. That was a big one. A much younger composition of Republican primary base came toger on basic principles that really weren't as beholden to older Republican orthodoxies, but principles like free speech, anti-censorship, meritocracy, and staying out of World War III. se are some of common thres that bring toger what is a pretty diverse and bro tent coalition to restore those basic constitutional principles,” he said.

“Here's a big one. And Donald Trump talked for a long time about deep state. But this idea of restoring self-governance is big in this new coalition. idea that people we elect to run government, y haven't been ones actually running government for a very long time," Ramaswamy said.

"Donald Trump is going to be president of United States in real sense of that word. Capital P president where he is actually making decisions with democratic will of people behind him, t unelected bureaucratic class underneath him,” Indian American said.

“That's something that unites a common thre of even former Democrats to independents, to libertarians, to, of course, tritional Republicans as well. I think that that's a common thre that unites us,” he said.

Trump, he said, is focused on what makes people's lives better. “And actually, my mess to Democrats out re, even those who didn't vote for Donald Trump, is to give m a chance to actually make your life better. A lot of people across country, even those who have bought into some false narratives about Donald Trump, are going to be pleasantly surprised to find more money in ir paychecks, prices coming down in country, and a secure border. Those are things most Americans actually care about,” Ramaswamy said.
