US and Vietnam sign repatriation agreement

FYI: we've been hearing about this possibility since u.s. signed one with cambodian. this is very bad news. tho the article doesn't mention, it seems likely they will also deport "legal" folks who have "aggravated" felonies just like the cambodian MOU. will try to find out more info. if you hear anything, please share

the "illegal" immigrant thing is misleading. it impacts legal residents too. basically it's very similar to the MOU with Cambodia, but i think i read in another article that it's not retroactive at this point.

thanks for posting this, i forwarded this to my students, a couple of them are interested in the question of deportation/citizenship.
