Indian origin Vivek Ramaswamy threatens to deport illegal immigrants from US if Trump is elected President
2 min readSon of immigrants from Southern India’s Kerela, Vivek Ramaswamy, who once challenged Donald Trump for the Republican Presidential ticket, has threatened to deport illegal immigrants from the USA if Trump — the official Republican Presidential candidate — is voted to power in the November polls.
Ramaswamy made the statement while delivering his address at the Republican Party’s National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“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 said. Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the presidential race earlier this year, has endorsed Trump.
Taking to X, he further broke down the Republican deportation blueprint.
“Two sets of mass deportations: 1. Deport millions of illegals to their country of origin. 2. Deport millions of federal bureaucrats out of Washington D.C. That’s how you revive a nation,” he said.
In his Tuesday night address, Ramaswamy spoke about sealing the southern borders on day one of the Trump regime.

However, he also spoke about legal immigrants and the Black community in the US. “To every legal immigrant: you’re like my parents. You deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in America,” he said.
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.”
