Indian-American presidential aspirant Vivek Ramaswamy, during the second Republican presidential debate, advocated ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants in the US. He revived a 2015 proposal from then-candidate Donald Trump. Ramaswamy, a second-generation Indian-American, argued that children of undocumented immigrants born in the US should not be granted citizenship as their parents "broke the law" to be in the country. He also supported measures like militarizing the southern border and ending foreign aid to Mexico and Central America. Ramaswamy's proposals have garnered attention in the crowded primary field, with 28% of respondents in a poll saying he performed the best.
