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.

    It made some difference, but the racists really self-owned on that one by making the country outwardly hostile to generally white EU migrants.

    This was quickly followed by an uptick in not white, non EU migrants that the casual racist abhors.

    Particularly evident in NHS recruitment with EU recruits stagnating and African/Asian recruits increasing.

    Aside from that, the vote has pretty much fucked us all for a couple of generations minimum. Put to vote, I would gladly rejoin, even at the expense of the Pound. We’ll never see the almost 2:1 buying power against the Dollar ever again anyway.

      We’ll never see the almost 2:1 buying power against the Dollar ever again anyway.

      You have every reason to be optimistic here as it remains to be seen what Trump will do to the dollar.
