    I live in MN and have been getting calls stating that, “I need to come in to verify my papers and ensure I am a legit citizen”… I get these calls numerous times a day, starts in English and then goes strait to Mandarin and I don’t even fucking speak that! (9-10 a day).

    I was born here by an American woman, who was also BORN here and a dad who came here LEGALLY with a SPONSOR and an American citizen and still am getting these bogus ass calls! I speak Cantonese and Spanish on top of English so hopefully they would send me back to my dads fam in South Vietnam but if not, I would be killed in north Vietnam due to my name and the war… so lovely… (back in the day I would be killed now I would just be shunned).

    I am about to hop the boarder and try to get in to see what happens and then just live in Canada, I basically am already there here in MN! Haha!

      I think it’s a scam targeting specific areas

      I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there’s a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.

        You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it’s legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.

        Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed… They’ll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.

        But I don’t even live in NY or CA where the calls are coming from, I live in Walz Country (MN) loving living over here with numberious benefits most states don’t have but still am getting these calls all day every day! At first it was terrifying but my green card restaurant owner told me she gets them too all the time and just block and ignore. But it’s straight up terrifying especially for people who don’t understand!

          Agreed, I would push it on to Canada if I could! Even Germany is better than life in the US now…, we can’t even get a woman president… I would go to either county now if I could.

        Tell that to the dozen of calls I get in mandarin and then in English stating I have to go into immigration for paperwork clarification bullshit! I refuse to get collected by a masked man “claiming he’s ICE!” Fuck that!

          Sorry, all the people who could tell the difference between mandarin and vietnamese were fired.

          Youll figure it out, im sure. Or you wont, and ice will have a great excuse yo take you, because you fucked uo on your paperwork (or so grok says; all the people who could read mandarin were fired for being woke, because they coukd read mandarin)

          Edit: do you really refuse? Dont say it here, but arm and organize your community. Have an anti-drone and anti-helicopter strategy. Change the internal layouts of your buildings where possible. Drop all non-pirated consumer software. Or become a ghost. Otherwise you arent refusing shit.

            Whoa, you went from an opinion to a crazy ass “plan” and statement.

            And who was fired? I am saying I am getting calls in languages I do not even speak and trying to get me to come into an immigration hearing when I was fucking born here! My dad came here legally unlike the Drumpf draft dodging family and yet he’s the one deporting people… he should start with his own fucking wife. Stop coming after people who work their asses off and pay taxes, unlike his ass and his entire family.

            But no, I have a passport now and also have been preparing myself for if anyone comes at me because I will not let anyone collect me so help me God and send me to wherever they think I’m from no thank you!!! YOU NEVER GO TO THE SECOND LOCATION, that’s kidnapping 101! I would kill myself in the van so they see how fucked up they are and hopefully change what’s happening given another citizen died — but I refuse to go to a second location! I watch documentaries so fuck no! And fuck the GOPs and “influencers”!

            FUCK CHARLIE KIRK, you put that much HATE into the world you can only expect that much plus more back… and not to quote him but “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage”.

            So NO EMPATHY FOR HIM! Most of the new gen’s are happy all that hate is out of our lives given it was mostly by him and the cult he helped create. And before that he was trying to blame a firefighter who risks his life everyday because Girl Scout girls were killed by a NATURE DISASTER is so fucking evil. Being black or white cannot stop a natural disaster, otherwise we could have prevented Drumpf’s presidency again with his pedophile ass!

            And guess what… try to “deport” me because I agree with everyone fired… Kirk was a POS and now currently in Hell (as a “Christian”) because that’s where he belongs! Fuck him and the donkey he rode in on thinking it was a horse!

            GOPS need to know, keep spewing hate and hate comes back at you 100% BY YOUR DAMN PEOPLE!

            Stop blaming dems when your GOP “party” is the one killing everyone!!

          Im saying the nazi shit heads who determine what a ‘citizen’ is don’t mean the same thing you do when you say that word.

          Your blind obedience to a toxic system has let nazis own you by couping that system.
