Trump Policy to Deport Vietnamese Refugees in U.S. for Over 20 Years

<snip>California Rep. Ed Royce, the outgoing House Foreign Affairs Chairman, and his successor, Rep. Mike McCaul of Texas, sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen on Thursday saying they were “deeply concerned by reports of a new Administration policy to deport certain Vietnamese-Americans who have lived in the United States for longer than 23 years.”

Noting it would be “a departure from prior policy,” they asked the two cabinet officials for more information about who this new policy would apply to and how it would affect diplomatic relations with Vietnam.<snip>

From these fucking Retrumplicans.

They're fucking "deeply concerning" us to fucking death.

Asspickles will express deep concern as we careen towards the fucking cliff, but they won't do one God damned thing to grab the wheel from the lunatic that's driving.

You know who else was deeply concerned? The fucking Austrians who were watching the Nazis March into Saulszberg

This is not something that needs a clever statement. This is not something that requires public debate. This is a deliberately racist policy proposal that targets a certain racial demographic. Meanwhile, Russian mothers continue to give birth to anchor babies in the United States.


Democrats need to start targeting those Repubs who are "troubled" or "greatly concerned" but who continue to support this agenda.

Immigration stance. They feel they immigrated legally, want others to do the same. La times had big article about this s few months ago.

Now GOP is worried deportations will lose them the vietnamese vote
