Dec 2014

I have an asian wife and her family is all from vietnam. I have a phd in engineering and needless to say all my best friends and coworkers are asian. Amazingly you are the first one afraid that they will get deported, including my aunt-in laws who are actually canadian citizens living in the US illegally.

Again, go join a survivalist group and head for the high sierra's if this is a real fear of yours. For anyone with an ounce of common sense it is just hilarious grandstanding. Something along the lines of "look at me! I am in danger of deportation! Even though no one talks about it but me... its real!"

I'll put a dollar on it that they deport me back to Ireland before they deport you back to Japan. If it never happens its a draw. By the way... neither will happen
