How did the United States deal with the large number of mixed-race Americans and Vietnamese left behind?

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, which has been recognized all over the world since the Second World War. Compared with Vietnam, Vietnam is very weak, not only at the beginning, but also after the Japanese invasion, so there is no comparability between the two countries.

If anything, Vietnam produces a lot of food. But it is such a world of difference. The two countries have experienced a war for 20 years, which may also be the longest war in American history.

The Vietnam War initiated by the United States began at 1955 and lasted for 20 years. It cost the lives of 60,000 American soldiers and150 billion. Consumption did not benefit the United States, and gradually the United States gave up this place.

However, if there is war, there will be negative effects. There are still many social problems left by the US military in Vietnam for 20 years, such as the mixed-race problem. During their stay in Vietnam, American soldiers often went to nearby villages to have children out of wedlock with local women. After the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, a large number of mixed-race children, including their women, were left behind.

These forgotten children and women in Vietnam were afraid that the Vietnamese government would accuse them of hating the United States, and they began to wander and flee. According to statistics, during the period of 1975- 1983, the number of Vietnamese refugees exceeded 1.3 million.

Vietnam is a country that pays attention to traditional culture, especially paternalism. The most important thing in the family is the father, so these children abandoned by the United States are discriminated against and ridiculed and regarded as the children of the enemy.

The government is unwilling to control them, and no family is willing to accept them. These abandoned children are called "dust children" by Vietnam. Not only children, but also women related to American soldiers are regarded as betrayal of chastity and despised and spurned by others.

According to other people's statistics, after the Vietnam War, more than/kloc-0.0 million children or orphans were abandoned by their mothers and died. Some of their mothers committed suicide because they couldn't stand the gossip, and some went to a new place to live.

The media attention caused by these related matters has also made Americans and the world understand the lives of these "dust children" in Vietnam. 1987, under pressure, the U.S. Congress passed the Homes for Asian Children Act, which gave abandoned children in the United States a proof of going home, and also made the United States begin to help these mixed-race children in Vietnam.

According to American media reports, from 1988 to 1990, 65,438+10,000 people in Vietnam submitted their immigration applications, and actually 66,000 people obtained effective immigration.

War is cruel, some things can be saved, but some things are inevitable. The harm brought by war to mankind is enormous, and staying away from war is the key to human development.
