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.

Mr. Jose Manuel Romualdez
Philippines Ambassador to the United States

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.

The United States Department of State provides a working definition of antisemitism as “certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestation of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.” Under the new

Trump Administration Issues Executive Order Requiring Alien Registration Requirement

As posted on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) website, on January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (“EO”) 14159, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”. The EO directs the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to ensure that aliens comply with their duty to register with the government.  Failure to comply with the registration requirement is treated as a civil and criminal enforcement priority. The DHS  requires that, with limited exceptions, all aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa, and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer, must apply for registration and fingerprinting. Similarly, parents and legal guardians of aliens below the age of 14 must ensure that those child aliens are registered. Within 30 days of reaching his or her 14th birthday, all previously registered aliens must apply for re-registration
