I live in MN and have been getting calls stating that, “I need to come in to verify my papers and ensure I am a legit citizen”… I get these calls numerous times a day, starts in English and then goes strait to Mandarin and I don’t even fucking speak that! (9-10 a day).

I was born here by an American woman, who was also BORN here and a dad who came here LEGALLY with a SPONSOR and an American citizen and still am getting these bogus ass calls! I speak Cantonese and Spanish on top of English so hopefully they would send me back to my dads fam in South Vietnam but if not, I would be killed in north Vietnam due to my name and the war… so lovely… (back in the day I would be killed now I would just be shunned).

I am about to hop the boarder and try to get in to see what happens and then just live in Canada, I basically am already there here in MN! Haha!

Wepl yes, you're a 'citizen', but are you a citizen? What you say about family in vietnam really suggests otherwise.

I think it's a scam targeting specific areas

I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there's a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it's legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.

Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed... They'll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.

Based on my experience, "those people" actually believe(d) that the US government is literally paying every person south of the border vast sums of money to come live here. If I had a dollar for every variation of "if you're broke, travel to Mexico and cross the border back into the USA, they'll give you a free debit card" I'd literally be able to afford to fly to Mexico, cross back over into the USA, and then be disappointed that nobody's getting those magical debit cards conservatives are convinced are being handed out like candy. And I'm brown enough I'm sure I could be confused as being "Mexican".

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 25 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

My parents believe that democrats are giving "illegal" immigrants welfare.

We are a family of legal documented immigrants, there were barely any benefits for us (especially not the first 5 years), and anything that you could get is means tested and you need all your legal documents ready. Like wtf how do you expect undocumented immigrants of getting any welfare, wtf.

(No they do not watch fox news, its some news account thing that they follow on WeChat.)

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 hours ago

The right-wing media ecosystems the US has for each immigrant community is so bizarre.

To what extend do you think it's rich immigrants sharinging petty bourgeois brainworms with other immigrants whose class position makes them exceptionally fertile for brainworms or literally just the state department amplifying and funding those voices?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

And I’m brown enough I’m sure I could be confused as being “Mexican”.

I have two half-Thai, half-white cousins. One of them looks vaguely Mexican / Latin American and the other looks Japanese, and they got lots of shit for that growing up in Florida. Fortunately, that experience really taught them to respect and value immigrants and non-white people.

Just kidding -- they're actually hard-core white-supremacists and trumpers. The only reason trump isn't their favorite person of all time is that they like DeSantis even better.

Laughing at these assholes is going to be the best part of dying in the camps.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Floridians love of DeSantis is extremely baffling. It really makes me struggle to care when they get hit with hurricanes and shit

Yap it's a honeypot.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Is this real?

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 92 points 16 hours ago

I mean if this was a legit thing and someone wanted to leave but didn't have the financial means then this is good, but most likely anyone who uses this will just get raided by ICE and thrown in prison instead of what it says, because that's exactly how low and pathetic people are

Am I able to fly to the US for like a vacation to Vegas, then self-deport and take home a grand?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 41 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I’m wondering if citizens will start self deporting.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 51 points 15 hours ago (8 children)

Hell, I'm a white citizen and I'll take $1000 to GTFO of this fascist shithole.

ICE: Approved. Off to Angola!

"In other news, the GDP of Angola has increased a whopping 20% this year due to a wave of highly-educated immigration."

The wording sounds like you need to be in the US without legal status. Think it's like 90 days is the shortest allowed for vacation/business travel before your "illegal". ~$11 a day is hardly worth the effort. You're better off sneaking in and immediately self-deport.

So we the people are giving them (allegedly) $1000 instead of the multiple thousands that they could have produced for the economy. Sounds like that will definitely make us greater. 🤦

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 64 points 18 hours ago

So, like, I get your point and all, but think of this: American will be less brown! We're cutting our nose to whiten our face!

How non-white are you?

No. Listen. I know a lot of US politicians who can be signed up.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 16 points 13 hours ago

Can you sign up for them on their behalf?

Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Ted Cruz, wasn't actually born in the US.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 83 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t believe for one second that they’re letting self deport through this happen.

This is far more likely to be an ICE hotline for who to disappear next to bolster their quota numbers

So while it sounds like a trap, this might also be real. It allows deportation without due process. This exact thing happened during Dwight D Eisenhower’s presidency to the letter, bonuses and everything. It’s much cheaper and easier to bulk deport if you can convince them to leave by themselves and by making life hell. Extra History JUST put out a video about the Eisenhower thing on September 1.

[–] sidelove@lemmy.world 39 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

While I'm not 100% on it being a trap, we're in an unprecedented "the cruelty is the point" era that we've never really faced before. If someone I knew was considering calling the line, I would do everything I could to prevent them from trying it.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You're not 100%? ICE habitually shows up at official visa appointments to disappear applicants, et al, without explanation nor consequence, and you think this brand-name scam might maybe be legit?! Thafuq?

[–] sidelove@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Calm down Buster Brown. We're in agreement. Whether it's 90% sure or 100% doesn't matter, the facts are the same, no need to come at me so strong.
