In his first weeks in office, President Trump issued a series of
executive actions related to immigration. These included a set of
executive orders that declared a national emergency at the Southern
border, attempted to revoke birthright citizenship, ended humanitarian
parole for asylum seekers, took actions against sanctuary cities, and
allowed ICE officers to conduct raids in doctors' offices, churches, and >schools.
A new brief from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds that
up to 3% of non-U.S. citizens living in the U.S., or 640,000 people,
identify as LGBT. This includes as many as 288,000 who are undocumented
and likely to be among the first affected by President Trump's
immigration policies.
Some immigrants arrive in the U.S. fleeing persecution based on sexual >orientation or gender identity in their home countries. A previous study
by the Williams Institute analyzed fear claims reviewed by the United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services and found that 1.2% of
credible fear interviews and 1.7% of reasonable fear interviews were
related to LGBT status.
While these makes up a very small percentage of all asylum interviews,
almost all claims based on LGBT status (98%) were determined by
immigration officials to present a credible or reasonable fear of
persecution or torture.
"Consensual same-sex relations are criminalized in 61 countries around
the world, and in at least seven of those, they can be punishable by
death," said lead author Andrew Flores, Distinguished Visiting Scholar
at the Williams Institute. "Policies leading to increased deportations
could place LGBT individuals from countries that criminalize their
identities and relationships at risk of violence and unsafe conditions."
Over one-third of LGBT immigrants in the U.S. live in California.
Williams Institute research shows that California's undocumented LGBT >immigrants from Latin America tend to be older, have lower levels of >education, possess fewer economic resources, are more frequently
uninsured, and are more likely to go without routine health care
compared to U.S.-born LGBT citizens. Meanwhile, among Asian undocumented
LGBT immigrants in the state, 86% are employed, yet 31% live below 200%
of the federal poverty level.
Not our responsibility to reward people for making bad personal
decisions.
Being queer is a personal choice. Nobody is ever born queer.

Absolutely. One's personal choices has no effect on their ability to
stay if they are illegals.
