Yesterday morning, a serious terrorist attack occurred in new york, USA: a 29-year-old man suddenly drove a truck into a crowd on the roadside and shot at the crowd with a gun, eventually killing eight people. 1 1 injured! The murderer was arrested after being injured by the police. ...
At the same time, this incident has become the deadliest attack in new york, USA since the terrorist attacks on May 38, 2006/11.
With the gradual clarification of the case, an important detail about the perpetrator began to attract the strong attention of many American netizens, and even now it has become the hottest topic on American social networking sites. ...
What are the details? It turned out that according to American media reports, the terrorist who immigrated to the United States from Uzbekistan seven years ago came to the United States through an American immigration program called multiple immigrant visa.
According to official website, the US Immigration Bureau, this immigration project, which awarded more than 50,000 US green cards to applicants from other countries by lottery, was founded by Charles Schumer, a senior member of the Democratic Party of the United States, in 1990 and officially implemented in 1995. Its purpose is to encourage those ethnic groups who account for a small proportion of the American immigrant population to settle in the United States, so as to make the American immigrant population more "diversified."
However, it should be noted that the real intention of the US government at that time to engage in this "multiple immigrant visa" project was to let more white Europeans immigrate to the United States, thus "balancing" the Asian and Latin American immigrants who had flooded into the United States earlier. So the data shows that Irish people from Europe benefited a lot in the early stage of this project, and many green card places fell into their hands. ...
Later, in order to make this policy look less "ugly" and more "racial equality", the US government joined many developing countries and third world countries (such as Uzbekistan, a Muslim country in Central Asia) in this immigration project.
To the surprise of American politicians, people from "poor countries" who feel that they have no conditions to live in the United States soon began to apply for immigration in large numbers.
For example, according to official data, in 2008, more than153,000 people applied for this immigration program in Uzbekistan alone, and in 20 10, more than 4,000 Uzbeks finally got American green cards through this program-including Seflo Sepov, a gangster who committed terrorist attacks in new york today.
Then you will definitely ask: Why can a terrorist get an American green card?
According to some American media and the official materials of the US Immigration Bureau, this is because the requirements for applicants in this immigration program are not high-even very low: as long as you have a high school diploma or two years of serious professional work experience, and then your nationality meets the requirements of the program, you can apply, and the whole process is free. ...
Therefore, in the eyes of some American politicians, this immigration project should be abolished, and apart from national security issues, they believe that this immigration project has no obvious significance to the economic and social development of the United States. On the contrary, it has caused many people who can't support themselves to "take advantage" in the United States, and it has also made many other applicants who want to get a green card in the United States through hard work and study feel unfair.
Among those who call for the abolition of this policy, the most famous is the current US President Trump, and the immigration policy reform he intends to promote includes the direct abolition of this immigration project that has existed for more than 20 years.
Of course, his idea was quickly opposed by the American Democratic Party and many mainstream American liberal media. For example, the United States wrote that Trump's practice will not only hinder the multicultural development of the United States, but also seriously hurt the American values of "generosity, openness and pluralism" and its international image.
However, the terrorist attacks in new york yesterday-especially the murderer came to the United States through a "multiple-entry visa"-are likely to directly tilt the balance of public opinion in Trump's favor. Many conservative media supporting Trump even began to build momentum. They declared that "the passage for terrorists to enter the United States is exactly what President Trump intends to close now!"
Many well-known American conservatives are also calling on the public to support Trump's reform: Do you want to be safe or the so-called "diversity"?
