While it would be horrifying regardless, this post fails to mention (although the source does) that Phi Pham is not from Vietnam. His parents were Vietnamese refugees who ended up in the Philippines, where he was born, and from there he legally emigrated to the US where he has lived the majority of his life. He is facing deportation to a country that he is not a legal citizen of, that he has never been to, and where he knows no one. He is not unique in this situation, the US government increasingly deports refugees to “countries of origin” that they have never been to.
