The Asylum Bill might already be worked on to evacuate Hong Kong citizens in light of China's aggressive stance to impose national security legislation towards the former British colony.

The United States is here to help

The US is considering helping Hong Kong citizens who want to seek asylum in the United States to escape China's authorities. The Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on June 1 that the US is considering that very thought. 

However, when Pompeo was asked regarding the immigration visas and quotas, no comment was given but said that the administration was already looking at it. Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell also reiterated that the US should be held responsible for other countries to open their doors to people from other parts of the world, especially if they intend to seek refuge.

McConnell also hoped that President Trump's administration could identify ways to put the cost on Beijing for removing the freedom of the people of Hong Kong that are currently under threat. Britain even offered support to over three million Hong Kong nationals in means of offering extended visa rights as well as a wavy to receive British citizenship.

McConnell said that the US has always had "a rich heritage of standing as a beacon of light" for war refugees, victims, and people who are generally affected by communism. With that said, the US should also apply the same standard and code of ethics to the people of Hong Kong.

Alight at the end of the tunnel for Hong Kong citizens

The United States Senator Ben Sasse recently announced that he would introduce a bill to legislation when the Senate once again reconvenes to be able to automatically grant Hong Kong citizens asylum in the country of the free, The United States.

He also mentioned that the US stands in solidarity with the victims of communism and should always find refuge in a country that could take them. So it's safe to say that Hong Kong citizens would be able to seek refuge in the US sooner rather than later with all the support from both sides of the aisle.

Taiwan also offers aid amidst China's stance

Taiwan offered "proactive rescue and possibly residency" to the people of Hong Kong. They said it shortly after the Chinese parliament has approved their national security law on May 28. From the news from Taiwan, the island country's foreign and interior ministers offered to help about 100,000 citizens. They will be coming by batches, while the government will be able to provide shelter and protection across the different major cities of the country. 

There will be a better future for the citizens of Hong Kong if they choose to take it with all the help of the free world. Hopefully, it won't be too late, and China would step back and let things happen then impede the process.
