In Germany, Merkel announced that she would welcome Syrian refugees into Germany. Although she had to adjust her policies and her support rate declined, on the whole, Europe's attitude towards refugees was not very good (although this may be because she made her own policies and had to kneel down to implement them). We should know that refugees not only mean economic burden, but also increase social instability factors, such as German women and even girls being raped and robbed by refugees.
If Europe is too tolerant of refugees, is Trump's tolerance for immigrants too "cold"?
Trump 65438+1October 1 1 When meeting with some members of Congress at the White House to discuss the reform of the immigration system, he talked about immigrants from undersea and African countries. He questioned why the United States should accept immigrants from all these "cesspit" countries.
On June 4, local time 65438+ 10/kloc-0, Trump wrote on Twitter: "The DACA bill is going to die." DACA Act is the "Deferred Repatriation of Childhood Entry" plan signed by former President barack obama. The plan allows illegal immigrants under the age of 16 who entered the United States before 2007 to suspend repatriation, and can temporarily stay in the United States by applying for a two-year work permit to find a suitable development path. Therefore, this group of about 800,000 people is called "dream catchers" by the American media, and most of them are Hispanics.
Trump has been taking a tough stance on immigration since his election campaign, the core of which is to reduce the number of legal immigrants, and to make the reform of the immigration system one of the administrative priorities in 20 18. According to its claim, the United States will limit the number of relatives who currently account for the largest proportion of legal immigrants, and even kick parents out of the ranks of relatives. At the same time, reduce the number of refugee green cards and cancel the green card lottery system. At present, the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party and the US Congress are negotiating to reform the immigration system in stages. The main contents also include building a wall on the border between the United States and Mexico, solving the problem of illegal immigrants arriving in the United States as children, and canceling the "green card lottery" and changing it into a "points system".
Why is Trump so intolerant of immigrants? It should be said that it is immigrants from some underdeveloped countries, because Trump said he needs immigrants from countries like Norway.
First of all, Trump should be a racist, and his words and deeds have exposed this attribute more than once. In addition to bluntly saying that the seabed and Africa are "cesspit countries", Trump's attitude is self-evident in the racist conflict last August. Secondly, the United States has suffered many terrorist attacks. For example, after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, new york suffered two explosions in succession. Trump said in a statement that the United States "must strengthen its loose immigration system." Under the current system, too many dangerous people who have not been fully examined can enter the United States. Therefore, the integral system is also "must be introduced".
More importantly, Trump is bent on sticking to his America first and America first. He only cares about the interests of the United States, so he has no scruples about implementing relevant policies in this simple and rude way. With the rise of "nativism", perhaps even without Trump, such a thing will eventually happen, but Trump just makes it come faster.
