20 18 American immigration policy reform China immigrants will refuse to be dumb.

Immigrating to the United States, more and more China residents now find that they need to stand up and make their own voice in urban management. At present, more and more people in China are participating in the election campaign. Let's start with the 20 18 American immigration policy reform. Immigrants from China will refuse to be dumb.

Because of its beautiful environment and excellent school district, Acadia has become one of the most popular cities in the eastern part of Los Angeles County. Although the housing price is much higher than that of several neighboring cities, many new immigrants from China have settled in this city in recent years. According to the statistics of the Census Bureau, the current population of this city is about 57,000, and there are more than 25,000 residents in China. Chinese can be said to be the first ethnic group in Asia.

However, for Dai Shouzhen, one of the five largest city councilors in Asia and the current deputy mayor, he did not feel the numerous advantages of any Chinese after he was elected four years ago. Because Asian or Chinese residents rarely appear in biweekly city councils to express their opinions on urban management, the needs of Chinese residents, the largest ethnic group in Asia, will naturally not be considered in urban operation.

From the bilingual service of the municipal government to the employment of Chinese-speaking police, Dai Shouzhen found that without the support of Chinese residents, he could not promote any urban policy that benefited Chinese. However, the silence of China people changed suddenly six months ago.

Although the Asian population in Asia accounts for about 60%, there is only one Asian city councilor in this city Council, and in the past few city councils, there are only half of Asian city councilors. This phenomenon made the outside world question the irrationality of the Asian city election, so the Asian city received letters from different organizations, demanding that it be divided into five districts for election according to the California Equal Voting Act.

On the one hand, the municipal government chose not to accept the district elections, and the compensation for losing the case was as high as 7 million US dollars. On the other hand, so far, no city in California has won a similar lawsuit. Some city councilors unexpectedly chose the latter, whether to hold regional elections to increase the chances of Asians becoming city councilors, or to risk losing a lawsuit and pay $7 million.

After hearing this news, many China residents disagreed with the idea of firm litigation and began to go to the city council to listen to and express their views. China residents have raised questions: recently, public security in Asia is worrying, but the municipal government has always said that it has no money to hire more police to strengthen public security patrols. Why can it now fight a losing lawsuit with the tax of millions of residents?

On the question that Chinese residents rarely appear in the city council, tom baker, a city councilor, answered the reason why he did not support regional elections. One of them is that he thinks that few Chinese can run for the city Council, because Chinese are not qualified to be community leaders because they do not participate in community volunteer activities, contribute or vote.

Baker's remarks touched the Chinese residents present, and also inspired more and more Chinese residents to participate in the following city councils and speak for the district elections. Finally, after three months of discussion, the city Council passed the regional election plan by 3 to 2.

In April, the Asian city will usher in the general election of city councillors in 20 18. After many discussions in the city Council, Chinese residents gradually realized that they could no longer "pretend to be deaf and dumb", and more and more Chinese residents in Asian cities joined the movement.

Fred, an Asian-Chinese resident, wrote a 4,000-word campaign article in response to the residents' vote for the candidate, and described his mental journey from "political apathy" to "standing out from the crowd" with the Chinese residents around him. He believes that it is the attitude of some members in Asian cities to let China residents' emotions explode, and they intend to use taxpayers' $7 million to fight a losing lawsuit. The phrase "not qualified" stimulated China people to make a noise.

Regarding the enthusiasm of Chinese residents to participate in the election, resident Mr. Ge said: "Before this, Chinese people rarely went to the city Council. People in China usually do their own thing and have no time to take care of it. It was the first time I went to the city Council, and I was really angry. Now, if you are busy with the election, be busy, stand up and do your best to wake everyone up with your strength! "
