n 2008, the United States reached an agreement to allow Vietnamese immigrants to stay in the country without fear of deportation if they arrived before July 12, 1995. The Trump administration wants to reinterpret the agreement to kick people out of the country if they were convicted of crimes.


A key point left out of the media's outrage is that they only people facing deportation are those who have committed crimes here in the USA. Anyhow according to the liberals the good guys won the Vietnam war and that country is a virtual paradise.

All 6 of them. Good grief. I guess they want to lose in 2020 and have literally no republicans in government.

I think if you lined up these guys (it’s probably all males)...it’s less than fifty with felony situations. I don’t see the issue.

In that the Vietnam War ended 43 years ago I doubt any of these individuals fought with our military on the battlefield. They would be in their 60s or 70s

A cousin in California who is occasionally active in GOP circles has long been a fan of Vietnamese immigrants who fled to the US after the war. He describes them as hardworking, entrepreneurial, and family oriented conservatives. Criminality and liberalism usually emerge in the first and second generation and from those who came to the US while young children.

But... but, who will do the manicures and pedicures then for the LA elites? Mexicans? Do you really want any cosmetic work done you from a Mexican? Maybe Salma Hayek, but she’s not really Mexican.

Seriously though, if they are criminals get rid of them. However, most of the Vietnamese people I’ve known and worked with are hard working people with strong family values.

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure it’s those aging Vietnamese heroes and not actual young Vietnamese criminals?

Cambodians as well. I worked with several of what were then referred to as ‘boat people’ in the 80s. Most were the sole survivors of their entire family. I cannot imagine the resilience it would require to lose everyone and everything you have, and yet struggle to continue on with life. That kind of person truly appreciates the greatness of America and the blessings it has provided them, and they return it in kind.

WATCH OUT for all this “his own party” bullshit.

Read “RINOs” instead. They’s plenty of opposition to him in the ‘R’ column for the past few years.

Boat people had to endure pirates. Their leaky boats were boarded and the young girls raped. There was nothing they could do to stop it. Democrats sold them down the river.

The only people at risk of deportation are criminals. Complete and utter fake news.

Point #1: The whole line of "Bees" in kommiefornia is suspect. They're radical leftist rags pushing a left wing agenda and cannot be trusted.

Point #2: Concerning the Vietnamese illegals. The law is the law. The RAT party and RINO frauds want to enforce, and even create, laws they want to enforce, but they also demand we violate the laws they choose.

Liberals are like a bunch of spoiled children with no basis in reality.
