In his bid for US president, Vivek Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old biotech millionaire, has expressed his intention to "gut" the H-1B visa program for foreign workers. However, he has faced criticism as his own pharmaceutical company has employed staff through this visa program. Despite having no prior political experience, Ramaswamy has positioned himself as an outsider willing to champion former President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda with his own twist. He has put forward some unconventional proposals, including abolishing the FBI and ending the war in Ukraine. Ramaswamy argues that the H-1B visa program, which allows employers to hire skilled foreign workers in the US, is a form of indentured servitude that benefits only the companies involved. He believes it should be replaced with a system based on meritocratic admission. However, his use of the visa program in his own company has raised questions about his stance. Ramaswamy defends his company's actions by stating that they followed the existing government rules and that he would work to reform the visa program if elected. In addition to his stance on the H-1B visa program, Ramaswamy has expressed support for raising the voting age to 25. He suggests that those over 18 would still be able to vote if they meet a "national service requirement," such as serving in the military or being an emergency first responder. Ramaswamy acknowledges that his proposal may face resistance, but he is prepared to engage in the necessary persuasion. However, changing the voting age would require a constitutional amendment, which would need approval from two-thirds of Congress. On the issue of the Ukraine conflict, Ramaswamy calls for major concessions from Ukraine to reach a peaceful resolution. He believes that a Korean-war style armistice agreement, including freezing the current lines of control, would be necessary. He also opposes providing aid to Ukraine and argues for a permanent commitment to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO in exchange for Russia leaving its treaty and military agreement with China. Ramaswamy does not support a federal ban on abortion, stating that the federal government should stay out of the issue. However, he has backed six-week bans on abortion at the state level and describes himself as "unapologetically pro-life." Ramaswamy argues that since murder laws are handled at the state level and abortion is considered a form of murder by pro-life advocates, it doesn't make sense for it to be a federal law. In terms of government reform, Ramaswamy has proposed eliminating several federal departments, including the Department of Education, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and the FBI. He believes that many of these agencies have redundant functions that can be performed by other parts of the federal government. Instead of funding the FBI, Ramaswamy suggests redirecting the funds to the Secret Service, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Ramaswamy has faced criticism for his remarks about the 9/11 attacks, particularly stating that it is legitimate to question whether there were any police or federal agents on the planes that hit the Twin Towers. He clarified later that he had been misquoted, claiming that there are lies the government has told about 9/11, but they are not the ones attributed to him. An audio recording published by The Atlantic confirmed that his comments had been accurately transcribed. In conclusion, Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur running for US president, has advocated for major changes in various areas, including the H-1B visa program, the voting age, the Ukraine conflict, abortion laws, and the structure of federal departments. However, his stance on these issues and controversial remarks have attracted criticism and raised questions about his consistency and viability as a political candidate.
