Now, nearly eight years later, his intentions are evident, and many are taking him seriously. As reported by KNBC in Los Angeles, Jose Manuel Ramualdez, the Philippine Ambassador to the U.S., has advised undocumented Filipinos living in America to leave voluntarily before Trump&#8217;s administration potentially deports them. He stated at a news conference that deportation could lead to a permanent ban on re-entry into the U.S. However, Ramualdez&#8217;s information was somewhat inaccurate; typically, deportation results in at least a five-year re-entry ban.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this misinformation, his comments prompted significant reactions within the community. Romeo Hebron from the Filipino Migrant Center noted that Ramualdez&#8217;s warning caused unnecessary panic among Filipinos and estimated that around one-fourth of the four million Filipinos in the U.S. are undocumented\u2014though KNBC miscalculated this figure as only two hundred to three hundred thousand.<\/p>\n<p>Local media outlets like KNBC often mirror national narratives and have shown bias by referring to illegal immigrants as &#8220;undocumented.&#8221; Their report leaned towards a pro-migrant perspective highlighting fears of deportation among long-term residents.<\/p>\n<p>However, public sentiment appears to be shifting against open-border policies as voters supported Trump\u2019s mandate during the 2024 election due to frustration with Democrats&#8217; immigration stance. Recently, Trump humorously suggested that Speaker Mike Johnson should declare November 5 or 6 as the start date for his new administration\u2014implying positive changes may occur before he officially takes office on January 20, 2025. Given Trump&#8217;s repeated promises of mass deportations and border security efforts over time, many Americans have reason to take these warnings seriously<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2373966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jose-Manuel-Ramualdez.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[11079,36382,14194,35779,3634],"class_list":["post-2373965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-ambassador","tag-immigration-policy","tag-philippines","tag-self-deportation","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jose-Manuel-Ramualdez.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2373965"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373965\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2373970,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373965\/revisions\/2373970"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2373966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2373965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2373965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2373965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
