Legalize stay, Pinoy illegals in U.S. told
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez is urging undocumented Filipinos in the US to seek legal counsel as mass deportations intensify.
He advised the estimated 300,000 Filipinos living in the US without proper documentation to consult immigration lawyers and begin the process of legalizing their stay.
Romualdez emphasized that there is still a chance for them to legalize their status.
He warned that those who cannot legalize their status will eventually be found out and deported, making it impossible to return to America.
The ambassador's remarks come as the US administration, under President Donald Trump, intensified its crackdown on immigration.
Recently, the US revoked the temporary legal status of 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, effective April 24, 2025.
Romualdez explained that anyone who entered the US illegally, regardless of nationality, could face deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
