If they are here illegally would they not be Asian Americans but rather Asian Asians

Yeah, the sadsac Bee can’t make that distinction apparently. More likely that they refuse to make that distiction on purpose. Ommision of facts, is deceit.

Exactly.

The Sacramento Bee is the mouthpiece of America’s enemies.

Possibly journalistic failure or it could be software that replaces some terms with what a style guide says. I recall an article which had to issue a correction some years ago based on its software changing ‘...put the budget back in the black.’ to ‘...put the budget back in the African American.’

"California is home to more than 7.2 million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders... The AAPI communities that experienced the largest increases in ICE arrests were from India, China, Vietnam, Armenia and Laos."

In other words, no Pacific Islanders. Why they try to lump them in with the others, I don't know. They are trying to make it sound like we are rounding up Hawaiians and Samoans.

PDJT’s administration is making some good progress

(everyone has known for years that anyone from Communist China can either sneak into USA or come on a visitor, tourist, or student visa.... and just say forever)

I read the article and the USC “study” page. It is consistent with its genre: an advocacy-org commentary citing a dashboard, not a methods-documented research report.

Choosing percentage increases over absolute counts is a common way (deliberate or not) to make small changes look dramatic; without the denominators a reader can’t tell if this is happening here. The article has them, but the USC site does not...so, where did the Sac Bee get them?

We know that the country is crawling with Chinese spies.

Does N. Korea send spies here, too? I never hear anything about that.
