Here’s the Scoop
During the second Republican debate of the 2024 election cycle at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Vivek Ramaswamy made a bold statement: “I favor ending birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal immigrants in this country.” Ramaswamy argues that the 14th Amendment, which the left often cites in defense of birthright citizenship, does not actually support their position.
He points out that the amendment states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the laws and jurisdiction thereof are citizens. Ramaswamy contends that this does not apply to children of illegal immigrants, just as it does not apply to children of foreign diplomats.

A video of Ramaswamy’s statement, shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by Collin Rug, has garnered mixed reactions with 4.2 million views, 37.5K likes, and 4,334 retweets. Some users argue that every child deserves a fair shot at a future, while others believe that ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants would save billions in healthcare and other services.
One user commented, “This would de-incentivize people from entering illegally and take the legal route, as many other immigrants do. Not a bad idea.” Another expressed frustration with the current system, saying, “I’m tired of paying for all these illegals to live on my taxes.”
Ramaswamy’s proposal has certainly struck a chord with many Americans, who are eager for a solution to the ongoing immigration debate. Whether or not his idea gains traction remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the conversation surrounding birthright citizenship is far from over.
