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.

    Oh, let’s see… maybe because there’s a vast gulf in the perceived power and responsibility between a governor and a president?

      So they really hate women, but it’s okay if it just controls their state instead of their Nation? That’s what you’re going with? An irrational burning hatred of women that matters more than than anything else as a voter yet they grudgingly say well I guess it’s okay if it’s just controlling the millions of people who live in my state. As long as it’s only affecting me personally and not the nation at large I’ll overlook my burning prejudice just this once. That’s what you think is in the mind of those voters? Fascinating.

        Who said they had a “burning hatred” of women? Most of the men in the focus groups who said that they wouldn’t vote for a woman wasn’t because they hate women but said things like, women were “too emotional”, would not be able to handle dealing with adversarial foreign leaders, or that it’s “just not appropriate” for a woman to hold the office of POTUS. Oh, and even some women also said that.
