Trump Moves to Deport Vietnam War Refugees

[SeventyOne]

No, it says "When it first decided to reinterpret the 2008 deal, Donald Trump’s administration argued that only pre-1995 arrivals with criminal convictions were exempt from the agreement’s protection and eligible for deportation. Vietnam initially conceded and accepted some of those immigrants before stiffening its resistance; about a dozen Vietnamese immigrants ended up being deported from the United States. The August decision to change course..."

"The Trump administration is resuming its efforts to deport certain protected Vietnamese immigrants who have lived in the United States for decades—many of them having fled the country during the Vietnam War.

This is the latest move in the president’s long record of prioritizing harsh immigration and asylum restrictions, and one that’s sure to raise eyebrows—the White House had hesitantly backed off the plan in August before reversing course."

The August decision was a US decision. Perhaps it came from Vietnamese pressure, but the US changed its mind. And now it has changed its mind again.

I stand by what I said. This pointed out nothing different.

Irrelevant in what way? Had they wanted to be Americans, they would have become Americans. Then this whole thing would be irrelevant.

There are American ex-pats living all over the world. You have the same problem with them?
