Also to anyone saying “well how can they deport a citizen when the other country won’t take them since they’re not one of their citizens?”
That’s the point…. They’ll stay locked up in internment camps because the US “is looking into their citizenship status” and they’ll stay there for an indefinite time.
"Then what happens when those get too full?"
Guess what happened in Germany.
My money is on them building more camps instead. The prison industrial complex would be very unhappy about slaves going to waste.
In Germany Nazis literally worked them to death (Vernichtung dutch Rabbit)
Typo too weird to fix it
I'm assuming it's autocorrect, but there were no Dutch rabbits involved. It's Vernichtung durch Arbeit, extermination through work.
Call them what they are. Concentration camps.
And I've been saying the same thing. In fact, treaties will have to be negotiated with a lot of those countries even if they will be willing to take those citizens back. They can't just land a bunch of C-130s in Shanghai and push all the undocumented Chinese immigrants out onto the tarmac.
These people will be interred for a long time. In concentration camps.
Because what's cheaper than even undocumented immigrants labor? Prison labor.
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.
Just to add it to the MOUNTAIN of IToldYaSo I am saving up. If you are a LEGAL immigrant, make plans, you might become illegal over night. These people are insane and vile, protect yourself.
Even if you were born here, he wants to revoke citizenship from second-generation immigrants too.
I'm a 15th generation American citizen and I still feel threatened
This is it.
They aren't even gonna try to prove the accusations are legitimate.
Yeah, that is even more insane. Removing birthright citizenship is just sick.
I'd say the constitution means he can't do that... but...........
The Supreme Court is basically Trump
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

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.
particularly military-age men
And give China more people to wage war against America with? Sounds like a great plan! (/s obviously)
Indeed. The safest course of action is naturally to put them in concentration camps to avoid that possibility (/s as well).
My dad remarried a China-nese lady after my mom passed away. He voted for Trump in 2020 and 2024. I love this lady like my own mom, but the leopard is coming in to eat soon.
The British thought immigrants would be deported after the Brexit too. But then they quickly realized they form the backbone of some of the critical sectors like hospitality, logistics, construction etc. So they quietly pretended like nothing ever happened.
Here in the US, undocumented immigrants form the backbone of food production (agriculture and meat processing) and restaurants, such that mass deportations would cause unimaginable inflation in food prices. I want to think that means the Republicans won't actually do it, but I thought they wouldn't actually overturn Roe v. Wade either.
In fact, there's a wealthy municipality here where I live that made rules that houses could only be built by individuals with a very niche paperwork, or something. The details allude me. At it's core, it was a xenophobic move to block "illegals" from being able to do their work, by "taking care of our own first".
The issue was there was literally none of "our own".
What I will remember however, is that no construction was able to happen for almost a whole year. The municipality had to repeal that rule to get construction started again. The ignorance and vast stupidity of the conservatives/regressionists never ceases to amaze me.
Also construction contracting too. Get your roof replaced and you will see crews of very efficient Latinos doing the work.
Yeah, and the Brexit vote fucked us. Being in the EU was great. Anyone could see that leaving wasn't going to make much difference to immigration.
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.
How likely do y'all think that I as a US Citizen with Chinese ancestry is gonna get deported.
Becausing looking back in history, e.g the Chinese Exclusion Act, it doesn't give me too much hope.
Welp out of one dicatorship into another 🤷♂️
Oh the situation is even more messed up considering the fact that in Chinese law, citizenship is automatically revoked when you obtain foreign citizenship. Guess I could end up stateless, in a CCP dictatorship.
Fuck this world.
That's a lot of Asian faces (39%) for these leopard to eat.
Wouldn't be surprised if they try to strip Asian American citizens, naturalized or natural born, of their citizenship either.
"undocumented"
Well, I mean, if they're undocumented they're already just one bad luck away from getting deported, the question is, how does he plan to catch them if they're not getting caught already?
During the 1930s when there was a mass Mexican deportation, there were a lot of US citizens rounded up and deported. Don't trust these guys will not make the same mistake. Of course, a decade later, Mexicans streamed across the border to mind farms and ranches while US manpower was in WWII. They kinda helped win the war by keeping the nation and it's troops fed.
"Wait... He wants to deport US? Not just them!"
