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.

What is Birthright Citizenship and Can Trump End It

Beginning in 2018, President Donald Trump voiced support for ending birthright citizenship. Following the 2024 election results, Trump has made several additional public comments about ending birthright citizenship. Or at least redefine it. This poses the question: “what is birthright citizenship and can Trump end it?” What is Birthright Citizenship? Following the American Civil War, Congress ratified the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, was enacted in part to ensure that former slaves and their descendants, who were part of the Confederacy, would be recognized as U.S. citizens. The 14th Amendment, with regards to citizenship, states the following: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside.” In plain language, this means that anybody who is born within the United

USCIS Now Requires Certain Adjustment Of Status Applicants To Submit Medical Examination With Their Form I-485 Application

Effectively immediately, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will require certain applicants filing a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status to submit a Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record with their Form I-485 Application. Applicants who are adjusting status within the United States are generally required to undergo a medical examination by a civil surgeon to show that they do not have any health conditions which would render them ineligible to immigrate. The USCIS has started this new policy change to reduce the number of Requests for Evidence that the agency issues before approving an applicant’s adjustment of status.

Incoming Trump Administration Looks to Deport Migrants to Third-Party Countries

The incoming Trump administration is preparing a list of countries to which it may deport migrants if their home countries refuse to accept them, according to sources. These countries include Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama and Grenada. If implemented, it could result in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of migrants being displaced in countries where they do not know anybody, do not speak the language nor have any connection to the culture. It also remains unclear that if deported to those third-party countries whether those newly arrived migrants would be legally allowed to work and remain in those countries. It is also unknown what kind of pressure – either economic or diplomatic – is being applied to force those countries to agree to accept certain migrants once President-elect Trump’s term begins on January 20, 2025. Migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, China, and other countries that have been reluctant to
