Former presidential candidate of the GOP, Indian origin Vivek Ramaswamy said illegal immigrants will be ‘returned’ to the country of their origin once Donald Trump is elected the President of the US.
He was addressing the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Tuesday night, July 16.
“Our message to illegal immigrants is also this; we will return you to your country of origin. Not because you’re all bad people, but because you broke the law and the United States of America was founded on the rule of law” the 38-year-old who dropped out of the presidential race earlier this year.

“To every legal immigrant: you’re like my parents. You deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in America,” The former Trump rival said in remarks that he later posted on his X platform.
Ramaswamy’s parents migrated to the US from Kerala in the 1980s.
Further addressing the Generation Z, he said, “You’re going to be the generation that actually saves our country. You want to be a rebel? Try calling yourself a conservative. Say you want to get married, have kids, and teach them to pledge allegiance to your country.”

Addressing black Americans he said, “The media has tried to convince you for decades that Republicans don’t care about your communities. We want for you what we want for every American: safe neighborhoods, clean streets, good jobs, a better life for your children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally – regardless of your skin colour or your political beliefs.”
Ramaswamy added that he would seal the southern border on the first day if they came to power. “We believe in the rule of law… We will seal the southern border on day one,” he said.
Ramaswamy said that these ideas are not divided on the lines of race or party. They are American ideas that we fought a revolution to secure. “Donald Trump is the president who will actually unite this country through action. Success and excellence are unifying.”
