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.
One of Trump’s campaign promises was to increase legal immigration, along with deporting undocumented immigrants. This isn’t the 1930s. Stop doomscrolling and get some fresh air.
Did you buy the sneakers or the bible? Both?
This purity testing is why I don’t call myself a Democrat, liberal, or leftist. Anyone who isn’t sufficiently in line with the party beliefs is accused of being the enemy. I’m not a Republican or a conservative, but I know a few and they don’t fit the stereotypes I hear from people here on Lemmy and IRL. Maybe the dems could win an election if they came back to reality.
“One of Trump’s campaign promises…”
Lol, lmao even.
He wouldn’t have promised it if his voters weren’t OK with it. Not saying he’ll keep his word, but it gives insight to the state of the Republican party. Some people on Lemmy seem to think he’s literally Hitler. He’s not, even if he turns out to be just as bad. He’ll find his own way to fuck shit up, so don’t expect an exact repeat of history.
So let me get this straight, when you hear people say Trump is “literally Hitler” you think they’re saying he’s actually the original real-life Adolf Hitler, somehow still alive, clean shaven, wearing a Trump disguise? Is that what you’re saying right now?
You don’t think that people actually just mean history is repeating itself, and Trump could turn out to be just as bad? That’s not what you think people mean?
Read my comments from the beginning of this thread. I’m saying Trump isn’t going to attack the same people Hitler did. And I’m saying he’s not going to attack people in the same way Hitler did.
If you’re arguing that Trump won’t invade Poland, we’re in agreement.
But no one is arguing that he’s going to round up jews. And he’s already demonizing immigrants and political rivals in the same way Hitler did.
It almost seems like you’re moving the goal posts, but I’ll respond…
I’m not sure what you meant about rounding up jews, but Trump is pro-Israel and pro-zionism.
Trump isn’t demonizing immigrants in the same way as Hitler. Hitler didn’t rally against undocumented immigrants. And he wasn’t trying to deport jews, he was killing them. Are you saying you think Trump will make concentrations camps and start a genocide?
I’m honestly not sure what your position is here, but I’m doing my best to respond to the points I think you’re trying to make.
There’s some nuance to what you just said that you’re ignoring.
When Trump talks about legal immigration, he literally uses the words “from the right places.” He’s not talking legal immigration from Mexico. He’s talking from Sweden, Finland, Germany, etc. I’ll let you guess what those three countries have in common.
Nuance? I’m willing to bet you haven’t listened to any of his campaign speeches, which makes that an assumption. No nuance involved.
Trump has been talking about Chinese immigrants. This thread is about a Chinese Immigrant.

He said out loud that he wants immigration from “nice” places like Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. He laments immigration from Asia (unclear where in Asia he means). He might also talk about Chinese immigrants, but he is taking a strong anti-China stance with the economy. It’ll be “interesting” to see how he swings with respect to normal Chinese workers in the US versus how he treats the country of China and immigration in general.
