Sources previously told NBC News that undocumented Chinese nationals of military age will be among the first groups targeted for deportation by the incoming Trump administration.

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.

      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.

        Because you don’t align with those beliefs. You are not a Democrat, liberal or leftist. And what? You expect those of us who are to call you that out of some misguided sense of charity? I’d suggest having the courage to own your own beliefs.

          What beliefs are your referring to, exactly? From my perspective, the main thing I disagree with them about is the purity testing.

            I’m not sure you understand what “purity testing” means. Do you think Trump supporters don’t evaluate alignment with their beliefs?

                You seem confused. My suggestion is to not try to find the answers you seek in this venue. You should go socialize and interact with actual people in person. In that way you can find acceptance and belonging and a safe way to discuss these things.

                I really don’t imagine this type of interaction is good for your mental health. That’s true for most of us, but you show all the signs of taking it far too seriously for your own good. I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for.
