During the Vietnam war, the Hmong people aided American special ops troops learn terrain, survival skills, provided recon and fought under American command.

They chose the US at risk of themselves and their families.

The Hmong were bold, strong soldiers who taught the US military INNUMERABLE lessons about jungle warfare in Laos and Vietnam.

Of course because the Hmong helped the US, the surviving fighters and their families were forced to escape Laos and Vietnam as refugees.

Since then there's been three generations of Hmong residing in America, citizens and not. They're all over America, it's their home now too. They're proud to live here, and should be. You might even know a Hmong and not know it.

But now, OF COURSE, #DonnieTwoScoops wants to deport these heroic Americans, and yes I mean that literally, people who fought for us, and their descendants.

It's underhanded, sneaky and just downright shitty.
