Philippines Ambassador to the U.S. Urges Undocumented Philippines Citizens to Leave Voluntarily
Philippines Ambassador to the United States, Jose Manuel Romualdez said it would be better for undocumented Philippines citizens to voluntarily leave the U.S. rather than be deported. Ambassador Romualdez made these comments following Donald Trump being elected as the 47th President of the United States and Trump’s appointment of Thomas Homan as the “border czar”. The Ambassador noted that while nearly 200,000 Philippines citizens who are in the U.S. illegally have started the process to obtain lawful permanent residency, a 2023 report by Migration Policy Institute lists the Philippines as the 6th largest source of illegal immigrants with a population of nearly 310,000. Enterline and Partners emphasizes that the proposed mass deportation orders will primarily apply to those in the United States illegally with criminal records awaiting deportation.
