Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says that if he is elected president, he would deport the U.S.-born children of illegal migrants.
"The family unit will be deported," Ramaswamy said Friday when NBC News asked him whether the deportations would include American-born children.
He reiterated his comments Sunday in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
"I favor ending birthright citizenship for those whose parents entered the country *illegally* because we shouldn’t reward those who violate the law with the intent of exploiting the citizenship rules. The Framers of the 14th Amendment never intended this," Ramaswamy wrote.
