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.

    I’m not sure what 10 year ban you’re talking about, but I personally know someone who married a foreign citizen, and she got US citizenship very quickly.

    Can you give me more details about this 10 year ban? If almost sounds like you’re talking about people being ineligible for citizenship because they’re undocumented citizens.

      Yes, that’s what I’m taking about. If you marry someone who is undocumented in the United States they’re ineligible. They must self deport and depending on how many months they were undocumented they get a 3 or 10 year ban. You said if they got married they would not be undocumented but that’s far from the case.

        OK, that clears it up. I didn’t realize this was controversial though, seems like there is bipartisan support to deny citizenship over things like felony convictions.
