Vivek Ramaswamy supports Trump's deportation policies and refers to legal immigration as "broken."

Donald Trump's Indian-American assistant Vivek Ramaswamy supported the president-elect's intention to deport illegal immigrants in large numbers and claimed that the nation's legal immigration system was "broken," according to news agency PTI. Those who violated the law to enter the United States have no right to remain there and ought to depart, according to Ramaswamy. Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American aide to Donald Trump, backed the President-elect's mass deportation plan for illegal immigrants and said that the legal immigration system in the country is "broken", reported news agency PTI. “Those who have entered in the last couple of years, they haven't established roots in the country. Those who have committed a crime, should be out of this country. That is by the millions. That alone would be the largest mass deportation. Combine that with ending government aid for all illegals. You see self-deportations,” he said. Ramaswamy discussed the results of the presidential elections on a number of Sunday talk shows. Furthermore, he informed ABC News that he is aware of "high impact" talks on his future position in the Republican Party's government and Congress. Despite opposing Trump in the Republican primaries, Ramaswamy supported Trump saying, “I think he cares about uniting the country. I think that is Donald Trump's number one focus." He added, "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 the country, get back to a place where ordinary Americans who might have voted differently amongst their family members or their colleagues or their neighbours, to be able to get together at the dinner table and say, we're still Americans at the end of this, that's very much Donald Trump's headspace.” In addition, he claimed that Trump's support from voters of all ethnicities, including Black and Hispanic voters, demonstrated his concern for the nation's best interests. "A lot of people across the country, even those who have bought into some false narratives about Donald Trump, are going to be pleasantly surprised to find more money in their paychecks, prices coming down in the country, and a secure border. Those are things most Americans actually care about,” Ramaswamy said.
