Summary
Asian American groups are preparing for potential deportations of undocumented Chinese nationals, particularly military-age men, under Trump’s proposed immigration policies.
Sources indicate Chinese nationals may be prioritized due to alleged national security concerns, reflecting broader anti-China sentiment.
Community organizations are creating multilingual resources, coordinating legal support, and educating families on their rights.
Trump’s rhetoric ties Chinese immigrants to fears of espionage, intensifying anxieties.
Advocates highlight the historical targeting of minority groups during national security crises and warn of significant impacts on vulnerable communities, urging solidarity and swift action.
Noteworthy, Trump’s support from Asian American voters grew 5 points to 39% in 2024.
The AsiansMAGA PAC raised $77,063.89 for Trump, outspending some other Asian American PACs but admittedly not as much as the AAPI.
Not saying they deserve it or anything, but there certainly will be some leopards eating the faces among them.
It’s worth mentioning that there should be some distinction between first and second+ generation immigrants. Often even amongst each other there is division so those who support Trump may not have to worry about being deported.
You are making the mistaken assumption that the brute squad will bother to differentiate between them. How many second+ generation immigrants carry around proof of citizenship, anyway? They can be detained just like anyone else who doesn’t look right.
(And it’s super easy to carry that now, the passport card is cheap, fits in your wallet, and is a good first line of defense against being disappeared.)
Plus his statement changing the law where birth in the US doesn’t grant citizenship.
How long do you think it will be backdated?
only citizens can vote though? i don’t think any of those people will be deported.
Trump in 2020 created a new DOJ office called the Denaturalization Section who would seek out cases and argue to strip citizenship. It is assumed he will start the same process again next year when he reenters office.
But even without that, the roughly 15-20 Million people in the USA which Trump promises to remove because they are undocumented likely have friends and family
Citizens may have non-citizen friends and family who are potential targets.
You can be stripped of citizenship. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/immigration-law/can-us-citizenship-be-revoked/
Once again. This is because less people voted democratic. Same number over a smaller total is a larger percentage.
Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.
Kamala Harris did not lose because she’s not a white man and perpetuating that myth is not helping.
She lost because she didn’t speak to the working class.
She didn’t lay out any plans nor promise any relief to the millions of people struggling.
She said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden with Palestine.
She parading around a Republican and tried to draw in the non-existent middle voter.
She promised more of the same when “the same” already wasn’t good enough.
Was she the better choice? Absolutely. Did she lose because she’s not a white man? FUCK NO and parroting that bullshit excuse is just distracting from the issues that actually need fixing.
She also lost because she’s not a man. And she also lost because she’s not white. You’re deluding yourself if you don’t think race and gender had an influence in the election.
Well she did actually, it was all on her website which has sadly been updated or I would show you.
You can still see her Politifact campaign promises page tho LINK
and this is in addition to the fact that the Biden Administration already blocked the Krogers Albertson Merger and had the FTC and DOJ investigate prices and firms across the USA. LINK
She also promised to bring back Child Tax Credits and a new $6,000 child tax credit and also to forgive even more student debts.
If there was any issue with Message it was that the people who bought Washington Post and Twitter weren’t sharing their message.
That anti-blackness the majority of Asian residents like to indulge in is biting them in the ass now.
