Which immigrants don't want to immigrate to the United States?

20 18 65438+ 10/0, Trump delivered a speech at the press conference held at the White House.

Trump: Ask Salvadorans to go home. We don't want people from shithole countries.

Consistent with the Trump administration's long-standing policy, on June 9, 65438, the US Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of the "temporary protection status" of about 250,000 Salvadorans. If Congress passes this resolution, then these Salvadorans must find a way to stay in the United States legally before September 9, 20 19, or they must return to El Salvador. These Salvadorans obtained this temporary protection status around 200 1 when a series of devastating earthquakes occurred in El Salvador. According to US Congress Resolution 1990, the United States can provide temporary protection status to citizens of other countries who suffer from natural disasters or social unrest. Now, the Trump administration believes that the disaster caused by the earthquake at that time has ended and the situation in El Salvador has improved, so it decided to cancel their identity.

This decision has attracted criticisms from all sides, which are mainly concentrated in three aspects: First, the Trump administration misjudged the situation in El Salvador, which is still a very dangerous country. Both New Harmony and New Yorker mentioned that El Salvador is now controlled by a series of gangs, and the murder rate is 22 times higher than that of the United States. Ironically, it was the United States that first supported an authoritarian government in El Salvador, which led to the civil war in El Salvador and many Salvadoran refugees, including gang members, fled to the United States. Then the United States repatriated these gangsters. Nowadays, under the management of gangsters, El Salvador has strict regulations on people's clothes and accessories, and kidnappings occur from time to time. Many critics believe that it is inhuman to repatriate Salvadorans to such a country; Secondly, there are a large number of Salvadorans in the United States who have settled for a long time. They have made positive contributions to both the United States and El Salvador, and maintaining the stability of their lives is beneficial to both sides. The New * * * and pointed out that the employment rate of Salvadorans in the United States is roughly equal to the national employment rate, and 8 1% of the population is above the poverty line, only slightly lower than the average level of American families. By remitting their income back to El Salvador, they have greatly helped the post-disaster reconstruction process in El Salvador. The New Yorker also wrote that in El Salvador, where gangs came to power after the civil war, 20% of its GDP came from the income sent back by Salvadorans in the United States; Third, critics believe that this decision is not because of Trump's proposition, but just another anti-immigration policy. Trump has terminated the immigration status of about 60,000 Haitians and 2,500 Nicaraguans. If this idea continues, more people will face the same fate. The New Harmony newspaper accused Congress of easily transferring such a legislative decision to the government, giving Trump room to abuse his power, while The New Yorker believed that this would only lead more Salvadorans to decide to stay in the United States and change them from legal immigrants with temporary protection status to illegal immigrants, which would increase Trump's burden of eliminating illegal immigrants.

However, Washington post later exposed the vulgar language used by Trump in discussing immigration policy, which made these criticisms of by going up one flight of stairs converge to the point of racial discrimination. The report said that when Trump discussed Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries, Trump said: "Why should we let people from these countries come here? "At the same time, he mentioned that he would welcome immigrants from countries like Norway, whose prime minister just visited the United States a few days ago. He also believes that it should be more open to Asian immigrants because he thinks they are beneficial to the American economy. Afterwards, the White House did not deny these reports, but pointed out that Trump has been thinking about the United States and hopes to absorb immigrants who are beneficial to the country. But then Trump himself denied using "rude" language, just "tough" rhetoric.

In any case, as New * * * and pointed out, it doesn't matter whether Trump's words are vulgar or not. More importantly, these words are discriminatory in themselves, indicating that Trump's immigration policy is not based on the ability of immigrants, but on their skin color or nationality. The Atlantic also believes that these words cannot be associated with race. Haiti and Africa are mostly black countries, and El Salvador is mostly Latino, in sharp contrast to Norway specifically mentioned by Trump. For the white supremacist, Northern Europe in Norway represents a relatively "pure" white man. The Atlantic Monthly pointed out that Trump has never understood the reasons behind the immigration policy implemented by the United States for many years, namely humanitarianism, American leadership, economic development and the embodiment of the United States itself as an immigrant country. Trump also doesn't understand the logic behind immigration: historically, a large number of Norwegian immigrants came to the United States in the late19th century, but because of Norway's developed economy, not many Norwegians will immigrate to the United States. Immigrants come to the United States for more opportunities and a freer political system, but in Trump's understanding, he believes that governments send immigrants to the United States, and he accuses these countries of not sending the "best" people to the United States. Therefore, Trump will regard some countries as "pits" and try his best to repatriate immigrants from these countries.

Oprah winfrey, a famous American talk show host, was backstage at the 75th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. Vision china diagram

Red carpet president: a political celebrity

This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is somewhat unusual. All the guests are dressed in black; Many people wear the badge of Time's Up, which is the symbol of the anti-sexual harassment alliance recently formed in Hollywood film and television circles; Not only the main stars but also many social activists attended the ceremony. The climax of the whole ceremony was undoubtedly the speech made by oprah winfrey, a famous talk show host, after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award. In this speech, which is regarded as the presidential campaign style, Oprah declared that a new era has come, the days when women were harassed are over, and the "Me Too" movement will no longer be needed. After the speech, the voice calling on Oprah to run for president in 2020 began to appear on major social media. Although Oprah has repeatedly denied the possibility of entering politics before, according to people close to her, she is seriously considering this possibility.

For the phenomenon of political "celebrity", the new harmony obviously thinks that the value should be appreciated. New Harmony holds that the red carpet in Hollywood itself represents the materialization and gender inequality of women in the entertainment circle. "The woman on the red carpet is like a chicken on the dining table." Oprah's speech is a counterattack against this prejudice red carpet. The New Harmony praised Oprah for reaching out to working-class women and pointed out that her performance on TV programs was better than Trump's. Finally, the new harmony hopes that Oprah will become the benchmark for the future entertainment circle to convey political information and release great influence. But "New Harmony" only touches on whether Oprah is suitable for running for president. However, in a column in Washington post, the author was optimistic about Oprah's presidential prospects. He believes that Oprah's speaking ability has obviously reached the level of a politician. Her speech at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was very attractive and inspired many people on social media. As for whether she is qualified for the presidency, the author points out, "Of course, we should doubt the ability of a political novice, but in Oprah's whole career, many people underestimated her. Now, they all regret it. "

However, many other media are worried about Oprah's idea of running for president. Another article in Xinhe Harmony also pointed out that Oprah had no political experience, while The Atlantic directly compared Oprah with Trump. The Atlantic believes that if Democrats want to nominate Oprah as the presidential candidate, they will face an internal contradiction. It depends on how they look at Trump: if Trump is regarded as an "alternative" president, then Oprah is just a "Trump of the Democratic Party", with no political experience and relying on the popularity of the entertainment industry to get support. The Guardian also pointed out that the most important argument of Democrats in Hillary's campaign is that she has better political judgment, but now they support a potential presidential candidate who has no political experience and only relies on popularity. This is a serious contradiction; If Trump is regarded as an "extreme type of Republican president", then this is usually the view of the establishment Democrats. In this way, it is illogical to let an outsider like Oprah become a presidential candidate. To sum up, the call for "Oprah 2020" actually reflects the current situation that the Democratic Party lacks a strong presidential contender, which is a helpless move of the Democratic Party.

More generally, some opinions no longer focus on Oprah herself, but oppose the "celebrity" of the whole politics. The Guardian published an article entitled "Celebrity Politicians are the Signs of Our Political Decline", firstly pointing out that in recent years, celebrities have been elected to important positions in the political systems of many countries in the world. Politics has become extreme, the number of moderates has been greatly reduced, and the media has reported a large number of people with radical views and regarded them as the saviors of the current political system. In the eyes of many celebrities, politics is about winning elections, and they don't care about the abilities that the president needs in his daily work. However, under the current political system, the primary factors to win the election have become money and popularity, and there is a lack of capable professional politicians, thus paving the way for celebrity politics. Nowadays, people are constantly nominating celebrities as presidential candidates, which is the embodiment of the two major problems of the political system.
