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.

Please, go on. I would love to hear more about your defense of concentration camps.

I said I do not agree with collective punishment. In no way should a Chinese person be deported or put in a camp because a different Chinese person was engaged in espionage. Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.

What I’m saying is that Chinese espionage is based in reality, unlike the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.

Your naïveté is not really that endearing. Could you be naïve about something else, like say whether cats will steal something off the kitchen counter?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?

Or are you implying that we should deport all Chinese people because a handful of espionage actually happens? Because that’s morally abhorrent.

If you’re making a claim, please cite your sources.

In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?

It's not. But your faith in the system and due process is.

Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.

  1. This already happens;
  2. In Trumpistan, how do they get to that stage of being "found guilty"?
  3. What ancillary effects happen as a result of a broad, federal-level push to "root out" Chinese people "suspected" of espionage?
[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed on all points. Trump is intentionally using a legitimate but small problem to excuse and fuel his overt racism.

[–] hamsterkill@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Espionage from many countries is real. It's an incredibly poor justification for deportation or confinement without due process, though.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I 100% agree. If you read my comments you’ll see that I said we should not deport people who haven’t been found guilty of espionage. Collective punishment is evil.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you think we should put Chinese spies in... Camps? I don't think that's usually how it works...

Call me crazy, but I think the camps might be for a different purpose...

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No? They should be deported, not put in camps.
