Undocumented military-age Chinese could be first on Trump’s deportation list
Democrat pundits stoking fear among legal migrants
As the threat to national security from China continues, undocumented Chinese migrants could be the first on President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation list once he takes office in January.
According to NBC News, a source close to the Trump campaign said the president wants to remove undocumented Chinese nationals who crossed the southern border illegally at the height of President Joe Biden’s border crisis.
The source cited the potential risk to national security, which is not unfounded as the FBI recently admitted China is using remote hackers to steal American intellectual property and other sensitive information through U.S. telecommunications companies.
Executive director of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund Bethany Li told NBC News targeting “military age” undocumented Chinese migrants is another way to demonize China.
“We know that both the state and federal government have deemed China as a national security threat… We saw this in World War II with Japanese Americans incarcerated. We saw this post-9/11 with Muslim and South Asian men being detained and some deported.”
Li further stated Chinese migrants flee to the U.S. because of poverty and dissatisfaction with China’s government.
“It’s another way of casting our community as an enemy. It might not even make any logical sense from a national security perspective, but our communities on the ground here in the U.S. will feel the impact,” Li said.
Since Trump’s victory, Democrat pundits like MSNBC’s Joy Reid have been fueling fear and reporting the Trump administration could deport green card holders and naturalized citizens, as well as undocumented migrants across the board.
Oh it gets worse. Joe Reid suggests President Trump will deport green card holders who are legally in America. “If you’re brown, you may not stick around.”

Other outlets have also been stoking that fear.

However, past comments during his presidential campaign show Trump was not referring to migrants who enter the U.S. legally through a port-of-entry, and have a legal right to stay in the U.S. Trump called the rumor “fake news.”

Trump has reiterated many times that the U.S. needs more people to immigrate legally, and this does not include those who would cause harm to the American people through crimes like murder and drug dealing.
Trump changes his tune on legal migration:
