Vivek Ramaswamy: My father made ‘a choice’ not to become an American citizen
#VivekRamaswamy #GOP #Politics
These journalists don’t understand the difference between legal and ILLEGAL immigrants. His father is not a citizen but didn’t cross the border with the coyotes. How hard is that to understand?
My uncle is coming back from Australia for his retirement. He invested here on a farm, and he wants to retire here in India. What’s wrong?
His daughters are settled with their partners and he wants to distance with them, as they really think their role as parents is done.
He wishes to die here. And his other brothers, my other uncles decided to co own the farmland so that they can have their organic farm, travel across India. And healthcare is quite accessible even from the farming Village. Why not?
That's not the only way to be an "illegal immigrant". You can overstay your visa and be here "illegally".
@@questionnyc like Melania did !
He's a immigrant he's here illegally
This guy just Admit it that his father is here illegally
@@larryforemanhe clearly stated that both of his parents are here legally
People are now maligning VIvek Shamelessly by attacking his father's decisions.
India does not allow dual citizenship but anyone of its origin can have Overseas citizen of India passport,
Secondly most Indians surrender their citizenship to get USA citizenship, in his father case he clearly Preferred retaining it for his own personal reasons, he could have easily got just like his wife. Its clearly a Choice
Yeah so he doesn't pay U.S taxes.
@@Tuathadana Indians working in Usa without citizenship pay much more percentage of tax than citizens
@@eajayreddy9878 misinformation
@eajayreddy9878 Noncitizens who spend enough time in the United States are subject to the same taxes as U.S. citizens.
@@annomyous1 I was keeping in view the tax deductions too, they are not at same level as normal citizens
Props to his father! He could go for the most coveted passport, but he did not.
He could have made it for tax reasons because the US is one of the only three countries with global taxation.
@@afriendabroad2083 He still lives in the US and therefore still must pay global tax.
He can remain Indian if he wants to. I don't care. What I care about is that because he never became an American citizen and was NOT one when his son was born, Vivek is NOT a natural-born citizen.
Why can't people understand the difference between an ordinary American citizen and the special citizen that is NATURAL-BORN? The founders took great care to establish that. We now downgrade it to a simple citizen. That was NOT their intent. Natural-born citizenship was required in order to help prevent foreign influence in the high office in the land. Do we care? They sure did.
@@A__SB The point is that our founders demanded that a person seeking the highest office in the land be not just a simple citizen but a NATURAL-BORN citizen. I explained their source for that--Vattel's The Law of Nations. In it, Vattel clearly states that a natural-born citizen is someone born IN country to CITIZEN parents.
It does matter that his father AND his mother were citizens of INDIA when he was born. That along keeps him from ever being considered a NATURLAL-BORN citizen.
Our founders were deeply and vehemently concerned about the possibility of FOREIGN influence finding its way into the highest office in the land. Part of that stemmed from the fact that British loyalists lived in the newly-founded nation. That is why they required that the president be born HERE and to TWO citizen parents.
Washington himself could not be a natural-born citizen under the founders' rules not could anyone of proper age at that time. That is why they included what is called the "grandfather" requirement. People who were Americans citizens at the time of the signing of the Constitution were eligible. Eventually, that generation died off and THEIR children then fell under the natural-born citizenship clause.
That so many Americans do not think this is important boggles my mind. We had four years of an American-African MUSLIM man in our White House (NOT natural-born) .No one seemed to care. Those who did wasted their time chasing after his birth certificate when the evidence was staring us all in the face. His father was NEVER an American. NO ONE with a foreign parent at the time of his birth can ever be natural-born.
Do we want another foreigner in our White House. By the way, Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley is also NOT a natural-born citizen. She was born to two parents who were citizens of INDIA when she was born.
I am beyond sick and tired of people claiming the necessity of adherence to our constitution while they themselves do not know what it says or refuse to believe the things that are written therein!
@@A__SB Have you ever taken the time to ascertain what the founders meant by Natural-born Citizen? I am guessing that the answer is "no." You have let others tell you what it means instead of investigating it for yourself. And do not be fooled by someone's credentials. Many idiots and fools have many letters after their names!
IF we want to know what a term means, we must go back to the meaning it had when it was used. On the desk in the chambers where our framers drafted the Constitution were three copies of Vattel's The Law of Nations--one in French and two in English. The reason the founders did not define natural-born is because it was commonly and widely understood. Vattel expressed that common understanding and the framers were VERY familiar with it. Here is what is written in Section 212 of The Law of Nations:
.
"The natives, or NATURAL-BORN [emphasis mine] citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and
succeed to all their rights."
My point is this: The Founders thought that natural-born citizenship was important because they did not want foreign influence entering the highest office in the land. A NATURAL-BORN citizen is less likely to influenced by the internal affairs of another nation.
Why do we not care about that? Like Vivek if you want, but he is not a natural-born citizen and is not eligible for POTUS. The fact that his father is a foreigner and wants to remain a foreigner makes Vivek a man with divided loyalties. What man will not be influenced by the prosperity and needs of his father's country? Why can people not see that?
India takes a rather dim view of dual citizentry.
Remaining an Indian citizen is much more advantageous for Indian migrants if they want to return here in their retirements.
America may be a great place to live before you reach your senior years but nursing homes do not hold as much warmth as that family support that an Indian can save from a joint family.
Dim view? It's outright prohibited in the Constitution of India.
You’re right about the nursing homes !
India and the US do not have a reciprocal citizenship agreement, which means that neither country requires its citizens to renounce their citizenship of the other country if they wish to become citizens of the other country.
@gabrielqueteimportante8499 I'd rather go to a nursing home than live in a hut made of mud in India. And he makes it sound like it's so cozy when family cares for old people. Those family members can't work and live in poverty.
@@Lashivb India generally does not allow dual citizenship. The Constitution of India prohibits dual citizenship.
LEGALLY!!!

@@MavDon-qc9tc Why didn't he simply go to school in India? Did they come here intentionally in order to give birth to Vivekananda so they could take advantage of our illegal "birthright citizen" fiasco?
Can’t people understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? Don’t they people come here on visas and get also their Greencards which are permanent residencies. Many love US and want to legally reside here but will keep some connection to their birth country, many Europeans and Asians do that, what are they trying to corner him with here? His dad is a permanent resident.
Its hard concepts for average folks. Make it simple for them to understand, in a language they can. Like give an example of "borrowing by permission" (legal immigration) and "stealing" (illegal immigration).
This guy is a wacko, a skilled worker works under a work visa, not permanent resident or citizen. The job title that his father had could of been given to an American at the time and this ignorant wouldn’t even be here
The fact is that because he was not an American when Vivek was born, Vivek cannot be a Natural-born citizen--a requirement for POTUS.
Yeah. Came legally but stayed illegally. His dad CHOSE to become an illegal alien. Daddy trump didn't do that, and now vivek is licking the boots of the greatest president this country has ever produced
India does not allow dual citizenship. His father didn't "choose" not to become a citizen, his father could not if he wanted to keep his Indian passport.
Right, which is a choice he made for familial reasons.
nah, you can keep a dual citizenship by applying Overseas citizenship of India Passport, lot of people do that
@psycictree27 that's an overseas citizen card and is not citizenship.
Yea... so he chose to keep his Indian passport instead of getting an American one.
@olaguibel27 There's a different between choosing and being forced to make that decision. If India had allowed dual citizenship, then he would have chosen. This guy just makes it sound like he graciously turned down the opportunity. That's just not what happened.
it's not immigration laws that need revamping it's actually enforcing them that's the problem.
That can only be blamed on LOLsers on both sides of the aisle, in the meantime all US citizen has to take it in the shorts for lousy choices
fostered by the left/right . Clowns to the left and jokers to the right, and WE are stuck in the middle with 50 million illegals
Very true
Lol, I recognize this line of thought. Further proof that Starship Troops is gold.
Except in starship troopers they require service for citizenship regardless of age.
You're comparing civics test to military? 😂
@phantom8983 he was referring to the book, "Starship Troopers". In which the premise was military service for citizen rights (private ownership, voting). Even though the book is a satire on Fascism, I agree that we should have to perform some type of service, civil or military for some of our rights.
I never watched that show 😮
Education levels are lower in red and rural counties so if he wants to make it so republicans need to pass a civic test for their right to vote, this Democrat is 100% for it. VIVEK VIVEK!
As soon as passing a civics test is required for 18 year olds to vote, there will be an effort to undermine their ability to pass such test.
That ability is already undermined due to the failing school system that doesn’t teach kids civics
Unfortunately, most young Americans can't pass this test now. Many social experiments have shown this. That means our voting pool is currently inhabited by many people who do not know who or what they are voting for.
Actually it will increase learning efforts
Civics test is just one way to earn voting privilege. He has also suggested other approaches like serving in the military, or some form of community service. I think he will be open to other ideas if only we had a media that discussed this topic honestly.
@@sudonameMr. Ramaswamy does not "discuss." He presents his wishes via monologue.
So a child born to the land is culpable of a crime that happened before his birth. No sir you dont charge, one person for the crime of another.
Who is charging anyone with a crime? Not granting citizenship and charging someone with unauthorized entry are 2 different things.
@DowneastBeast if unauthorized entry is done parents. Then why do children born here will be denied a right to citizenship?
@harisinam4078 because if their parents are here illegally, they should be deported and their family should not be split up. Children are people, not anchors.
Children born on US soil are American citizens, full stop. The citizenship or legal status of the parents doesn't matter.
@claycan3243 somebody who has lived here 24 years, and literally built their life here? No. He should have been deported 24 years ago, but I would not say he should be now.
If you apply the US citizenship civics test to the current voting pool, it will cut out a huge chunk of voters. The remainder will be the most educated portion who can actually study to pass it.
What’s her point ?
She really thought she LEGALLY had one.
I was wondering the same.
He‘s illegal
Her point is that he's a hypocrite - he got birthright Citizenship, he was NOT naturalized, but he wants to deny birthright citizenship to other people. US-born children of 'illegal' immigrants ARE citizens by the 14th Amendment. BTW, he's also a hypocrite on affirmative action, he says he's against it, but he took it when he didn't even need it (Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans). He's also against the H1-B visa (which allows companies to bring in and underpay foreign engineers and scientists at the expense of American engineers and scientists), but he employed a shitload of H1-B visa holders in his companies. This guy is a real piece of work, God help his wife and children.
@@grn-mq2qh LEGAL is the key word here.
I don't blame him! It is not easy for senior citizens to love here, not much of a retirement life. 🙏 if she has an issue then she should know that all americans who are from Europe are illegal because they occupied the country illegally.
I don't care what background or what color you are I want to see billionares and centi millionares pay their fair share of taxes. I want a country that cares about it's citizens being able to have houses, food, heat, and be able to raise a family without having to sacrifice their lives and their health to do so while rich entitled man babies are on welfare. Which is exactly what our politicians are on by using tax payer money for personal anything!!
Millionaires and billionaires pay more taxes than everyone else. You want the country to take from them to give to you.
I have a country perfect for you...don't have to travel far....Cuba would like to have you as their citizen.
I’m assuming you mean handouts(when your referring to having food). America wasn’t made by giving people things they worked for them over time.
I guess you know that Vivek has become a billionaire as has his parents the past year. 👀👀👀👀
It is genuinely insane how saying things like this would make either sides of American politics think you’re a socialist or communist
Loooove this guy!! My mom had to take her written exam 5 times before she passed. Back then it was only in English as it should bc the signs are in English. Now we have soooo many languages to choose from in Cali when taking the test. Then she decided to become a citizen and my brother and I at age 15 and 13 were helped her by recording cassettes where one asked the question and the answered the questions such as who was the first president of the United States? Then I would answer George Washington a few times so she can remember better 🙏🏼
You're saying the naturalization test "in Cali" is different than everywhere else? Also, you're saying the test is a written test and comes in a whole variety of languages the applicant can choose from? Well, here's really how it goes. Firsts of all it's the same everywhere: there's nothing about taking the test "in Cali" that is special. Second, it isn't a written test. The test is in two parts: An English test, and a Civics test.
The English test is of course in English. There is a writing part, where the applicant is read aloud a sentence by the tester, in English, and must write the sentence correctly. There is a reading part, where the applicant must read aloud an English sentence put before them successfully and the tester should be convinced the applicant understands the sentence. There is a spoken part, where the tester asks questions of the applicant about their application, and the applicant must answer in English any questions asked of them.
The Civics test is actually an oral test, not a written one. Obviously someone has misled you if you think it's a written test, available in multiple languages.
The test CAN be taken with an interpreter. The interpreter must be fluent in both your language and in English. The tester will ask 10 questions from a pool of 100 possible questions, about American history, politics, and the constitution. The applicant may phrase the answers any way they feel as long as the answers are correct.
The Civics test proves your knowledge of the United States, while the English test proves your understanding of the English language, how to speak it, listen and understand it, how to read it and how to write it.
@@donsheffler I would also add that nowhere in the constitution does it say English is the only language it's easier because the majority speaks English but English isn't the nations language and Thomas Jefferson advocated to teaching more than one language in schools the Jefferson part might be wrong but I'll be back to correct it if I am wrong.
Do you even know his policies
We need to go back to having the test in ENGLISH only. You want to come here to take advantage of OUR country's prosperity instead of fixing your own country, you can at least learn the LANGUAGE!!!!!!
@@miguelreyes258 Teaching other languages in school does not equate to our relinquishing America's justifiable insistence on ENGLISH as our country's LANGUAGE.
If you’re on holiday with a visa you’re also ‘in the country legally’ though.
So? If you're here legally, your first act entering the country was not a crime. That's the important thing. You used legal, screened ports of entry.
But when your visa expires and you over stay, that then becomes a crime.
Yes, huge loophole. Visa tourism
Tourists can not stay here for more than 6 months at a time. If it is obvious that it is being done for gaining birthright they could deny entry inspite of visa.
A visitor is not here to reside. That's why his temporary stay is limited to 6 months. As a non-resident alien, he/she is not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States". That's the key phrase/distinction to note. Furthermore, the mass influx of illegal entrants, is because of people who don't even have any visa!
Its not going to work
Both my mom and dad came to the US illegally and I was born here and was given an amazing opportunity being a citizen. This is a terrible policy. I own a home and pay property taxes and income taxes. The same as someone with both parents being citizens
They came here illegal which is breaking the law,
@@Valour1111yeah but they made that choice when he wasn’t born. It’s not his fault to suffer the consequences of his parents.

I don't care anymore, I use want to help but guess what my cup is full and I'm putting Americans first untill my country and every legal citizen is here ok then we can help but for now it's us Americans first
They would have loved this guys story if he was on their side.
He would be the top guy in democrats, even some republicans would have liked him.
The cognitive dissonance among republican voters is unreal.
What current liberal/democrat candidate or elected official wants to end birthright citizenship while themselves being a citizen through birthright?
With his policies, he wouldn't be a Democrat.
Republicans would have hated this guy if he was a Democrat.
Ahhhhh, wrong!
The founding fathers: "Life, Liberty, The Pursuit of Happiness. These are your god-given rights, deserved because it is human and morally obvious to do so"
Ramaswamy: "Ehhhh, ya gotta work for it."
What a wonderful person. He will go places!
Actually let's take that one more step further instead of just trying to have less young voters by having this test, it should be required for voters of all ages to pass that test. And anyone running for any public office (local, state, federal) should not only have to pass a basic citizenship test, but also take an additional test on what our constatution actually says/means. And possibly a MMPI. That or some kind of mental acuity test should be given periodically to those already in office, so we don't end up with these polititions that appear to not know where they are, or what they're supposed to be voting on. And are instead led around and told what to say by their staffers. Just a thought.
Sounds very good to me. He would never agree to that.
@@Arulane Yes he would, and he has said that ideally he would want to propose that for all ages.
You are freeborn American but someone from elsewhere is coming to derive you of God -given right.
He wants to start fresh with a new generation. That way everyone in the future would have to pass the test (or do the alternate methods)
It was a proposed constitutional amendment, and actually some years after it's ratification all citizens would have test the test.

And your native or so called " whites" don't seem having that balls to cope with it all..And this mam has that balls.. He gonna be your big chance.. ..Period..
His parents were Doctor and came here LEGALLY. And it takes 7-12 years to get Citizenship when you follow legal path.
He just saying if you gained legal citizenship then your child gains it through birth right. If you're in America illegally and have a child then i believe that child gains citizenship from being born in America but he's saying they shouldn't
If that’s correct then I agree
Then, He should be deported himself considering his parents weren't legal citizens
That's not if a pregnant woman was in airplane but it flying on top of America there baby was born in flight that mean the baby is American born . So that means his mother and father some nation but he born in America soil so he is real American
Yes because people literally visit America to give birth there. Many do that. Plan an holiday when 7months pregnant, stay there. Visa allows 6 months. And voila. Your child can be amaeican citizen.
The Constitution is preety clear doe@@Kathakathan11
The reason why his father had to make a “choice” is because India doesn’t permit dual or multiple citizenship. You have to renounce all your other citizenships if you wish to have Indian citizenship.
This guy is not american
AND, more importantly, he is NOT a NATURAL-BORN citizen and is, therefore, NOT eligible for POTUS. Why don't we care???????? @@larryforeman
People try so hard to catch him on a policy but they just don't have their listening ears on. He never said that children born here to non-citizens shouldn't be automatic citizens. He's saying as long as they are here legally...through the official immigration process or through legally seeking asylum. That would mean someone who came across the border without going through the legal process should not have their children automatically become a citizen. It makes sense to me...why doesn't it make sense to everyone? We have to stop incentivizing people breaking the law...period. Think of it, people know they can sneak into our border and have children also know that their being deported becomes a political and moral issue now...why? because if they have children here...are we now going to separate the children from their parents? NO! They need to go back to their country of origin WITH their children. The only thing I will say about Vivek here is the question of what about those children born to illegal immigrants who are already adults. Should they keep the citizenship...my response would be yes. You can't take it away now. But from this point forward...no new children will be granted automatic citizenship rights if their parents are here illegally.
The scope of birthright citizenship applies only if the parents were here legally.
14th Amendment: “... and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, ..” Illegal entrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Persons not thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterward except by being naturalized, by proceedings under the naturalization acts,
So no matter when a person was born here, if his parents were illegally here at the time of his birth, then he is also automatically illegally here. No exceptions! You have to follow the law! Once you start thinking of bending the law, it gets very complicated and the resulting discrimination gets challenged. So no special privileges, just for being here longer as an illegal entrant
Why don't you worry about your own life and your own business because I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect you personally..smh people mostly the right are so focused on everyone else's business telling them what they should and should not do instead of just living their own lives!!
Then they should worry to fix immigration laws for everyone equally . Vivek knows and maybe investigate his parents probably lied yo emigration. Judge to come to America because they do that. I have a roommate who confess lying to the immigration judge to obtain asylum and they get social security and everything that’s not fair
accept it's affecting us all! If you don't see that you're blind. @@nicosiadellairo1473
Illegal immigrants are under the jurisdiction of US. We have laws on how to deal with them. So your little essay is complete bs.

@chumaokafo. Well said!!! 👍
He feels more American than anyone , bro your family it’s Indian you was born in America , but you have 100% Indian blood
And THAT is why he is NOT a "natural-born" citizen and is NOT eligible for POTUS. A natural-born citizen is someone born IN country to CITIZEN parents. Vivekananda Ramaswamy was born to FOREIGNERS from INDIA. He is INDIAN.
Does this mean Vivek will be deported after he passes his own policy?
I'm all for that. People come here to simply better themselves and selfishly grab at opportunities rather than to be proud, loyal Americans. I'm sick of it. Is Vivek a real American? Does red, white, and blue flow through his veins or is he merely trying to advance his career and personal wealth?
Why don't people who have grievances with their own countries simply stay there and FIX things? That's what good citizens do. They don't turn their backs on their native land and scurry to another one just to get things they can't get at home!
Vivek and his family were not being abused or threatened in India. They are among the thousands who come here just to get what they can't get from their homelands. That is NOT the true spirit of immigration. Why doesn't Vivek go home and seek to fix the problems with India's government?
He ran for president for the same self-serving reasons. Why does he seek OUR presidency? He knew he couldn't win, but he knew that such exposure would give him a step or two up the ladder. He planned to kiss up to Trump in order to do so. He's all about Vivek! Don't be fooled.
He's biding his time for when he can actually win---and that win will only come because of STUPID Americans who don't know their own laws concerning eligibility. America is rooted in Europe. Have we become so far removed from that that we no longer care? Every other nation can boast of their founding but not America. She has to be open to everyone from everywhere. If Americans frown at putting a Hindu Indian in the White House, they are called xenophobic and hateful and intolerant.
I wear those titles proudly. I want a legitimate American in the highest office in MY land--not some foreigner with a strange religion. Now bring on the hate!
Legally is the word that people are missing there are people who are here illegally is the problem and they’re kids are illegal too

Are you American?

I can understand this point of view.
Vivek you make every interviewer look not so smart LOL
He’s striking a case for a homogenous culture that US is intrinsically NOT
You’re words were too fancy 😂 I didn’t understand 😅
Exactly right
Not really, he's advocating for a National identity based on the Ideals that the country was founded on... I'm from India and we are the most diverse country in the world be it religion, castes, creed, ethnicities, language, food, culture in general BUT we have a strong Indian identity based on our values, duties and rights proscribed in our constitution and based on our rich cultural heritage. That's what he is advocating for as he feels that Americans have kind of lost their national identity and are focusing on what are differences between each groups rather than focusing on the things that makes Americans the same people.
From the get-go it was a mix of native americans and white immigrants
India is not as diverse as the US. Vivek is not advocating to a "return" to American ideals. With every passing day he illustrates his total lack of knowledge of American history and a worrying disrespect for our traditions and culture. You wouldn't put up with such ignorance in India and we don't like it here either.
One of the reasons he is saying this so people at the boarder who wants to come here illegally will get a message that "OK, if US is not granting our kids citizenship then we may not be able to stay there longer illegally". IF Vivek becomes president, my hunch is that he is going to use this a negotiation tactics with democrats on granting citizenship to illegal who are already here vs who are coming "going forward". I am from south asia and personally know people who come here on tourist visa (6 months) when they are pregnant, then stay here until the baby is born and then go back to their country. This allows kid to choose US citizenship when they turn 18. If you ask me, pretty good way to cheat the system. You will never see MSNBC doing report of these cases. My guess is that Vivek having south Asian background, he knows these people growing up and now he fills he need to correct the system of ILLEGAL immigration. What's wrong with that?
And I know immigrants who didn't do that. Who's story is more valid? That's why anecdotal evidence doesn't work. Also, systems will always be cheated. The rich use loopholes to attain and retain their mass wealth yet the American People rather be mad at immigrants. It's estimated that wage theft was the biggest theft in the US with over $50 Billion worth being stolen from the American People
I agree with Vivek but he needs to make clear that birthright citizenship doesn't apply to tourists who go to the US for the purpose of giving birth in the US>
It has come to mean that--unfortunately. We need to have a thorough and legal investigation of the REAL meaning and intent of the 14th Amendment. It does NOT grant citizenship to babies born here to FOREIGN parents.
I wonder if she’d spend an interview with Biden drilling him about Hunter the same way she is attacking Vivek about his father.
Vivek knows he is not held up by some strings and some Americans will look for absolutely anything..grasp at any straw to make him look bad..but they perhaps nobody has ever seen anyone like him.

No honey, we have seen a b*llshit artist like him in 2016.
He is NOT a natural-born citizen and is not eligible for POTUS. Neither are Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley, Kamala Harris, Ted Cruz, Barrack Obama, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal--etc.
The U.S. Supreme Court determined what a Natural-Born Citizen is in Venus and later again in Shanks v Dupont. In Minor v Happersett this court said unanimously that a "Natural-Born Citizen" is one born in the United States to Parents who are both U.S. Citizens themselves.
Has anyone Demanded to see his birth certificate like REPUBLICANS did for Obama?
Well Obama kind of paved the way for him... to demonstrate that a person of color and someone with a foreign-born father is capable of running the country
People who are still confused about making their mind about Vivek for being him as immigrate must very well know that your native politicians and whole US already playing with many suicidal buttons...Specially the radical extremist mob belonging to specific religion, nibbeling your country as rats and has accumulated on your land in huge with every other day showing it's power on streets in name of terror suport protests n all, and becoming threat to law and order, ..Illegal immigrants are next in line, Wokism is doing another level of destructin and corruption is another prob..
And your native or so called " whites" don't seem having that balls to cope with it all..And this mam has that balls.. He gonna be your big chance.. ..Period..
Obama's birth certificate, like Ramaswamy's bc, are NOT the issue. Obama's father and Ramaswamy's parents were NOT U. S. citizens at the time of their children's births. That alone makes them ineligible for POTUS. While people were chasing their tails trying to finding Obama's birth certificate, the FACT of his non-natural-born citizenship was right in front of our eyes. But being ignorant of our own constitution, people voted for that fraud. WHEN will we get this ESSENTIAL issue of citizenship right?????
Respect to Vivek's Father.
Pranaam Sirji.❤
4:18 I think most "Educated" Indians fit this category.
Why do your parents want to come to America in the first place? Why did they leave India? Do they want to have an opportunity for a good life have a good future? If that is what they want, then what is different from other people who have the same dream and the same thoughts as your parents? How did your parents get here legally in the first place? Your father has lived in America for over 40 years and still doesn't want to be a US citizen which is very surprising. If you apply for US citizenship the government will check on your background thoroughly. It seems like there is something about your father's background we don't know about?
And that is another red flag about Vivek. He has loyalty to his homeland because of his father's loyalty to his homeland. Why should we trust someone who has such close ties to a foreign nation? Let's be wise.
The only reason so many tolerate him and do not care about his eligibility status is because he is not from a country with power and global "skin in the game" that directing impacts America's sovereignty and safety. What if he were from Iran or Russia? Would we be so welcoming then of someone whose father refuses to seek to be a citizen of the country he lives in and takes advantage of? I don't think so.
Vivek is NOT a natural-born citizen of America and is not eligible for POTUS. All of the issue I just brought up are some of the very reasons our founders insisted on NATURAL-BORN citizen.
Their is a German Christian homeschooling family with 11 children that has been in the U. S. for 15 years. Their children were taken away from them while they lived in Germany because they refused to send their children to the godless German schools. When their children were returned to them and they were instructed to get their kids into the governments schools. they fled to the U. S. They are facing deportation. It is even possible for any reasonable person to not see the hypocrisy and injustice in this case? THEY deserve to be here while millions without justification to be here get to stay.
Americans, it is NOT wrong or unreasonable for you to be a proud American (if you are an American from birth or proper naturalization) and if you love this country and will defend her with your very life. Do not feel unjust in thinking that self-serving people who will NOT do those things do NOT belong here.
Is Vivek Ramaswamy really an "American" or is he a citizen of India simply seeking to power and wealth for his own betterment with little or no regard for the welfare of the country in which he lives?
does anyone not think Vivek can pass a civics test for immigrants? I will be happy to take one and set the standard.

The keyword is LEGALLY ... I will support making ENGLISH as national language so that people can understand what he is saying and not make a clown of themselves.
Vivek is a clown. Nothing he says is worth listening too. Thankfully, he ain't winning.
jacksmith = american hero.....
faniwillis = american hero
Trump = going to jail

Mmmm...no.
He's not consistent. He changes his mind based on what's popular.
First off, the United States of America does NOT have an official language. English was never declared by law as the official language. I think someone who wants to become a president should know this!
The follow up question is why his father does not return to India. If he chose to keep his citizenship with India why is he not living there now. Just wondering.
His father visits India often.. he travels back and forth.. India doesn’t have dual citizenship, which makes things much harder for quite a lot of people..
Exactly.....
This guy is wrong , anyone born in this country once the reach the legal age , is a right for them to vote , there’s no need for tests or anything like that
It’s insane!
That is wrong and reflects a total misunderstanding of our Constitution--especially the 14th Amendment.
I agree with him on almost 90% of his politics, but on this subject, we are miles apart, because he is with all due respect, absolutely clueless to the politics of Latin American countries, when it comes to getting visas to come to the US. The gigantic investment that a mass deportation would incur will just be another debt we will leave our kids. How about legalize people that have lived here for 15+ years paying taxes being law abiding. And the fact that he himself would’ve fallen victim to this policy, if it were in place back when he was born, it’s quite frankly ridiculous.
BTW, in India too, unless you are there legally your kids can not become citizens.
gosh, he likes the sound of his own voice.
So do I 😊
Here is a guy who hates his own😂😂😂. No doubt you hate everyone because you hate yourself. You a communist???

Rasist question. Interesting that she was selected to ask it too since she can use the immigrant card too.
Does he think there should be a caste system in America?
You'll have a Race system already that's much worse deal with it first😂😂
Omg, Vivek has no idea where Israel got their missile defense capability. Wow.
He knows, he's playing close to his chest.
He also knows about their border defenses (look at her foot at 3:22 when he said that) and stopping the aid. He's intelligently dis mentaling them.
@@CC__Long 3:22 is the body language of ner vous ness. She's probably have been briefed about this subject by some J.U. producers. Vivek talks about America with similar practices to Israel is making the establishment un comfortable because all this border ch aos was purposefully done.

Why is Vivek such a fervent outspoken patriotic American when his father never desired to become an American citizen.
that is an idotic statement. He is a citizen. He is very intelligent, and I think he represents our country well.
@daniellewissmiller3318 You totally misconstrued and are unable to assimilate the quintessence of my comment. The central focus of my comment is not circumscribed to the legalities of citizenship. The essence of my comment is in the basis of Vivek's cognitive sociopolitical fervent jingoism. His father never "desired" to become an American citizen. Hence, Vivek's jingoism of the United States was more than likely not inculcated and instilled by any jingoism from his father's patriotism. Furthermore, Vivek didn't vote until the previous presidential election. Vivek's feigned hyper-jingoism is a well-developed theatrical act. With his fulsome utterances of highlighted American historical events to appear genuine. Vivek is a fraud seeking clandestine self-serving political purposes. Vivek Ramaswamy is a fraud.
The civics test in 8th grade is much more difficult, rigorous comprehensive and detailed than the naturalization test. Why waste the time for these kids to be treated as immigrants? Too bad Ramaswamy apparently never took that course, not did he pass the test. He is displaying an interesting level of ignorance about US pedagogy.
So what's the issue? Everyone can pass it easily then right?
the tests are easy! How many amendments are there? What is the bill of rights? Who is the current US president? When was the constitution ratified? How many original colonies were there?
You don't have what is like to be immigrant. Where is he saying to treat like immigrant.
He is saying to have some education on who they are . And it's not going to be rocket science to pass exam.
I’m in 8th grade and it was a breeze. Are US adults are really that dumb?
@@mathmanchris666 it's not their culture, so no they are not dumb.
The only added benefit of citizenship is the right to vote in America. Is it worth it? No wonder his father chose to remain a smart Indian rather than become a dumb American.
If his mother made the same "smart" decision, he wouldn't get to run for Pres. Think about that, genius.
He might be missing out on social security benefits by not becoming a citizen. Not sure that is a "smart Indian", but I respect his decision. Many Indians want to enjoy their last days in India, so he may return.
@@funbigly he would still get to run for president as he was born in USA to parents who were legal immigrants.
@@funbigly Think about this: Vivek's mother became a citizen six years AFTER he was born. Her becoming an American did NOT make him eligible to be POTUS. And his being born on American soil did NOT make him eligible for POTUS.
To be eligible for POTUS, one must be born IN country to CITIZEN PARENTS. His parents were citizens of INDIA at the time of his birth. He is NOT natural-born and is NOT eligible for POTUS. His mother's naturalization did NOT make him eligible to run.
All of the sudden everybody is illegal but him and his family? 😂😂😂what a joke.
Right choise for america
While this anchor was trying to get him the “gotcha moment” she let Vivek speak and explain his policy views clearly. Well done Vivek!!!
There's no need for a gotcha moment. His position is morally indefensible and would have deprived his own story of success if it had been implemented in the 80s.
@@SuperKripke Why would it be morally indefensible? If you are here in the US " Legally " and kids are born then they get "birth right citizenship". This is how almost everyone in this nation has become a citizen. It might have happened one generation ago or five generations ago. This is what Vivek is also pointing out.
@@TheCnattu False. Legal migration from countries like India is a lottery and almost imposible for many to even visit the country due to long lines at embassies and arbitrary requirements. Ramaswamy's parents would have close to a zero chance of immigrating here legally under the current system.
The more morally sound policy is to criminalize the use of undocumented labour and introducing a minimum living wage. Sadly, folks like Ramaswamy are all too happy to have used the benefits of undocumented workers working for them and want none of the consequences.
@@nexus-qb3buHe’s an anchor baby
@@SuperKripke The point is legal vs illegal immigration. If parents legally immigrated into the US then kids who are born here in the US would have birthright citizenship. If parents illegally immigrated to the US, although kids may be born here in the US they cannot get birthright citizenship. Whether the legal immigration was based on lottery system or other system does not matter. Again, the point is legal vs illegal immigration.
Under his scope he wouldn’t have been a citizen of the USA on the first place…. And if this proposal would be approved and applied retroactively his citizenship by birth should be revoked.
he is the son of a LEGAL immigrant...all he is proposing is, if you are a kid of ILLEGAL immigrant, just because you were born in US, you would not get automatic citizenship.....not the difference, LEGAL vs ILLEGAL !
Most countries do not give birth right citizenship to illegal immigrant children. I guess you never had a passport to understand how legal immigration works.
That's not if a pregnant woman was in airplane but it flying on top of America there baby was born in flight that mean the baby is American born . So that means his mother and father some nation but he born in America soil so he is real American
What he is saying is if you are here at us legally and gave birth, then yea you are a citizen. But you came here and gave birth illegally, then you aren't. It's the same as two terrorists crossing us illegally and giving birth so they cud make their child a citizen of us for pushing their agenda

Vivek sounds like a Hyena on heat
First, establish a national workers data base. Second, pass laws that penalize any person or business that hires anyone not on that national workers data base. 30 days per incident in jail and a $10,000 fine for illegal hiring. Illegal immigration stops overnight.
When there are literally zero jobs, and where every person in the country will turn you in to be deported, you're not going to come outside of a legal parameter.
Exactly what it should be.
I think they call that the Social Security Administration
Lol, have you heard of words like "crime" "theft" "gangs",.. you gave a recipe to increase them!!! Keep in mind, you can only stop people for entering! Humans will do anything to survive! Good or bad is just a perspective!!
