With Donald Trump re-elected and pledging to enforce stricter immigration policies, Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez advised the estimated 250,000-300,000 undocumented Filipino immigrants in the U.S. to leave voluntarily to avoid blacklisting. He warned that deportation would prevent them from returning and highlighted Trump’s campaign emphasis on immigration. Romualdez suggested leaving would allow a chance to return legally in the future. He also noted that Trump’s hardline stance resonates with conservative Filipino-Americans who oppose illegal immigration.
