川普总统亲切地俯下身去,和那位仿佛身有残障的白人小孩亲密互动好几秒钟,然后站起来,若无其事地跳过两个充满期待随即陷入困惑的小亚裔,握住第二个主动向他伸手的白人男孩。有人辩解说,谁让那两个亚裔小女孩不主动伸手呢,都怪我们这内敛的中华文化!可是如果你仔细看视频,最后那个白人男孩子也没有伸手,反而是川总统主动拉了他的手;坐在轮椅中的小男孩更不可能主动驱进了,但是川总统知道在镜头面前象征的重要性,而是主动上前做足了姿态。而对亚裔孩子呢,也许不需要这样的姿态了?Make American Great AGAIN? 反正好多年以前美国就没有多少亚裔。
看着画面中亚裔小女孩困惑,受伤和对旁边白孩羡慕的眼神,再想到去年美国华人疯狂挺川的热潮,全国各地在飞机上飘扬的“Chinese American for Trump”,我不禁感到有些伤感和滑稽。
209法案是由共和党人士发起,导致亚裔入学比例上升

Joe Gelman (President of the Board of Civil Service Commissioners of the
City of Los Angeles),
California Arnold Steinberg (a pollster and political strategist)
Dr. Larry Arnn President of the Claremont Institute
wiki上没有写他们的党派,我查了一下,全是共和党人士

the Claremont Institute是GOP的think tank
A Co-Chair of the Campaign was Law Professor Gail Heriot 也是GOP
It was later endorsed by Governor Pete Wilson 也是共和党州长
加州全民公决209投票,湾区投NO, 这里面一定有华人的功劳
媒体表现:反对209的 http://www.ajdj.com/noccri/

民主党做的是
On 27 November 1996, U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson blocked
enforcement of the proposition
有时候我真的不懂华人同胞,提起共和党就反对,也没见提出具体应该反对的理由,这
些为华人做出贡献的共和党人士,华人社区无人知晓。饮水思源, 亚裔社区以80%投民
主党报答共和党,again, no wonder Asian get fucked!
SCA5的墨裔议员, 100%的投票当选,他的区的华裔也全部投他
有投票权的华人,投民主党前,会愧疚吗?
“70年代,Executive Order 11246是AA的基础, 美国的公司员工有强制的种族配额,
这是当时华人就业的巨大障碍。共和党的里根以废除11246为要挟, 才让今天的码工们
可以自由就业。”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11246
核心摘要:
“The Executive Order also required contractors with 51 or more employees
and contracts of $50,000 or more to implement affirmative action plans to
increase the participation of minorities and women in the workplace if a
workforce analysis demonstrates their under-representation”
In 1986, the Reagan administration was opposed to the affirmative action
requirements of this Executive Order and contemplated modifying it to
prohibit employers from using "quotas, goals, or other numerical objectives,
or any scheme[,] device, or technique that discriminates against, or grants
any preference to, any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex,
or national origin."
布什 04年改革LC,LC的排队从 2年到3年,变成瞬间,有1年半的时间,绿卡申请进程
大大加快。
H1b 名额的临时增长是由S 2045(American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First
Century Act of 2000)引起的.在这个Bill下,H1b名额临时(2001-2003)增加到 195K
。
这个Bill的Sponsors主要是共和党,当然当时(2000年)因为IT迅猛增长它得到两党的
支持.到2004年,h1b名额又自动回到65000。所以名额再次成为一个问题.
当时国会也有各种bill寻求各种手段增加名额。我当时刚工作所以对这些相关的Bill比
较关心。当年我也打过电话发过传真给议员.
每次这种Bill都是
Republican提出Bush也支持的但Democrats反对.
他们反对的有两种情况:有的说H1b抢了美国人的工作机会,典型的是来自West
Virginia的Senator Byrd;另一种的说法是我们需要高科技工人,但是这个应该和非法
移民的问题一块解决,典型的是Hilary Cliton.所以这方面的Bill一直就没有太大的进
展。
有关排华法案的历史
其实Chester A. Arthur之前的另外一位republican总统Rutherford B. Hayes已经反对
并veto了一次排华法案了:
"By 1878 Congress decided to act and passed legislation excluding the
Chinese, but this was vetoed by President Rutherford B. Hayes. In 1879,
California adopted a new Constitution, which explicitly authorized the state
government to determine which individuals were allowed to reside in the
state, and banned the Chinese from employment by corporations and state,
county or municipal governments."
共和党对农奴,种族歧视什么的一直是坚决反对的
One of the critics of the Chinese Exclusion Act was the anti-slavery/anti-
imperialist Republican Senator George Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts who
described the Act as "nothing less than the legalization of racial
discrimination."
共和党领导的道歉
"In 2014, the California Legislature took formal action to pass measures
that formally recognize the many proud accomplishments of Chinese-Americans
in California and to call upon Congress to formally apologize for the 1882
adoption of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-
Diamond Bar) and incoming Senate President pro-Tem Kevin de León (D-Los
Angeles) served as Joint Authors for Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 23 and
Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 122."
民主党力主的排华

"Democrats, led by supporters in the West, advocated for all-out exclusion
of Chinese immigrants. "
