As sources say Trump could deport undocumented Chinese first, Asian American groups rush to prep (www.nbcnews.com)

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.

For the white folk like my family that are out there wondering why so many people are afraid: here it is.

You don't have to be an illegal immigrant to get caught up in this. If you're an American citizen who is arrested and thrown in a camp without access to communications or legal counsel, how can you prove you're a citizen? You'll end up being in line at a deportation hearing, get 30 seconds in front of a judge, and find yourself deported because you didn't have the correct documentation on your body.

Or if you did and the immigration gestapo "lost" it.

I'm so white that even sunburnt I still look like a ghost, so I'm safe. But that shouldn't be what protects me from illegal deportation.

Ok, so now if you are Asian in addition to being even vaguely brown, you will at all times need to carry papers showing you are authorized to be here. You will be subject to being stopped and questioned and should you fail to produce your papers you may be detained, possibly for quite some time, until YOU can prove you are authorized to be here. Even if you are here legally your status may be revoked and you will be ejected from the country, probably at your own expense. No doubt in that case anything you own here in the US will be confiscated.

Thanks to asset forfeiture, those objects are guilty in the furtherance of a crime and will have to defend themselves in court.

"Wait... He wants to deport US? Not just them!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

That makes sense. Asians don't even seem to be in conversation on racial issues. I could see them slipping this under the radar.
