With Donald Trump’s recent election victory, conversations about immigration have once again come to the forefront of U.S. policy. Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump’s close aide, recently shared his views on the current state of the legal immigration system. According to him, the system is “broken” and in need of reform, beginning with strict measures to uphold the rule of law.
A Broken System and a Call for Rule of Law
Ramaswamy voiced his support for Trump’s plan for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. He pointed out that individuals who entered the U.S. illegally, especially in recent years, have not established roots in the country. He believes these individuals have no right to stay and that mass deportations could reset the immigration system by restoring order.
“We do have a broken legal immigration system,” Ramaswamy stated. However, he emphasized that before any reform can succeed, the U.S. must uphold the rule of law. He argued for a “pragmatic” approach, focusing on those without roots in the country and anyone with a criminal record. Ramaswamy also endorsed halting government aid to illegal immigrants, predicting that such changes could lead to “self-deportations.”
Ramaswamy’s Shift from Rival to Advocate
As a former rival during the Republican primaries, Ramaswamy’s transformation into a trusted Trump supporter has garnered attention. He spoke passionately about Trump’s renewed commitment to uniting the country, highlighting Trump’s desire to bridge divides and encourage Americans to focus on common values.
“Trump’s goal is to bring the country together,” Ramaswamy noted, pointing to Trump’s interest in easing political tensions post-election. He believes Trump’s new term will provide the opportunity to build upon his first administration’s goals, benefiting everyday Americans.
A New Republican Coalition
Ramaswamy emphasized the Republican Party’s growing diversity, describing it as a “multi-ethnic working-class coalition.” Voters from various backgrounds—Black, Hispanic, young voters, and former Democrats—are joining under shared values like free speech, anti-censorship, and self-governance. This coalition, he explained, has shifted away from traditional Republican policies, instead focusing on meritocracy and economic opportunity.
A major theme of Trump’s platform, according to Ramaswamy, is a call for self-governance. Trump aims to diminish the influence of what Ramaswamy calls the “deep state”—unelected bureaucrats with significant power in Washington. Ramaswamy argues that this move toward self-governance appeals to a broad group of Americans, including independents, libertarians, and former Democrats.
Looking Forward: A Message of Unity and Prosperity
According to Ramaswamy, Trump’s focus in his second term will be improving the lives of everyday Americans. From securing the border to boosting the economy, Ramaswamy believes Trump’s policies will help all Americans, including those who may be skeptical of his intentions. He encouraged Americans to give Trump a chance, suggesting they will see benefits in their paychecks and enjoy lower prices.
