MILWAUKEE: Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy speaking at the Republican Party’s National Convention here, promised illegal immigrants will be ‘returned’ to the country of their origin.
“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.
“To every legal immigrant: you’re like my parents. You deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in America,” the former Trump rival said. Ramaswamy’s parents migrated to the US from Kerala in the 1980s.
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 color or your political beliefs.”
Meanwhile, Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina Governor in her address to the Republican National Convention said, “President Trump asked me to speak to this convention in the name of unity. It was a gracious initiation and I was happy to accept. I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear; Donald Trump has my strong endorsement. Period.”
Speaking about the border issue, Haley said that it’s the single biggest threat Americans face under US President Joe Biden. “Migrants are coming into our country by the thousands every day. We have no idea who they are, or what they plan to do. Kamala [Harris] had one job, to fix the border. Under Donald Trump, we didn’t have the border disaster we have today. I was proud to serve America in President Trump’s cabinet.”
