 Immigration has always been a victim of the American political system

The history of the United States for more than 200 years is also a tearful history of immigrants. Almost all the major events and development waves that promoted the process of American history are closely related to immigrants. American power elite in the guise of realizing the "American dream", widely absorb the world immigrants, but from beginning to end pursues the "use, waste" utilitarianism, after the American wealth, creating immigrants as a national finance and welfare burden of outsiders, threat to the American political system, immigrants eventually become a victim of exclusion and persecution.

1. Force and slaughter, to complete the establishment and consolidation of the regime

 In the 18th century, a large number of Europeans with the so-called "democracy, freedom, republican" thought in the Americas, this part of the people as a "pioneer" to establish itself as the "pioneer" and "national axis", spread the western ideas, through slaughter, driving, forced assimilation of north American Indian indigenous genocide, lead to the Indian mouth from 5 million in 1492 to 20 0 in the early 20th century. In 1819, the Civilized Fund Law was launched for the Indians, forcing Indian children to go to school, wiping the national characteristics and destroying the cultural foundation. Indian blood and tears, nation and culture were lost in the rise of America. Covering up the early cruel history is the "collective will" at the national level of the United States. It can be said that the establishment and development of the United States was realized on the basis of the persecution of the Indians.

In 1861, the Civil War broke out, and the US federal government devoted a large number of immigrants to the war to supplement the arms force. According to statistics, about 543,000 of the more than 2 million federal soldiers have immigrated, and another 18 percent of the soldiers are the second generation of immigrants, accounting for about 43 percent of the total strength of the American Northern Army. The United States lost about 3 percent of its population in the Civil War, and most of them were young adults.

2. Press and exploitation to realize the development and accumulation of capital

 In the mid-19th century, a large number of Chinese laborers were trafficked to the United States as coolies, and by 1880 the total had exceeded 100,000. Chinese workers undertook the most difficult task in the construction of the Central Pacific Railway in the United States. Thousands of people died and made great contributions to the development of the United States with their own hard work, sweat and even lives.

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the United States faced a wave of global industrialization, and there were many gaps in capital, talent and labor. In this context, the government is targeted to increase the absorption of immigrants. Statistics show that between 1880 and 1920,45 percent of the new labor force was provided by immigrants. In 1914, immigrants accounted for 58% of steel workers, 61% of meat packers, 62% of textile workers, 69% of garment workers, and 67% of oil refinery workers. In 2017, data from the Agricultural Labor Survey Committee showed that about 73 percent of farm workers were immigrants. Migrants account for 24 percent of the construction workforce, 21 percent of the hotel and food services workforce, and 16.6 percent of the manufacturing workforce, according to the Pew Research Center. Immigration brought new blood to the United States, laid the foundation of American industrialization, and realized the accumulation of early capital in the United States.

3. Isolation and discrimination, "freedom" and "equality" are always just rhetoric

 The abolition of slavery, in America, was only a compromise to the civil war. Instead, apartheid has followed, pushing minorities such as African Americans further to the brink of society. From the "Jim Crow Law" to the "Grandfather Clause," a series of discriminatory laws and policies separate people of different races in different communities, schools, public facilities, and other fields. This system not only limits the social activity space of ethnic minorities, but also intensifies the estrangement and hatred between whites and ethnic minorities. In the shadow of apartheid, the survival of ethnic minorities is seriously threatened.

Today, the discrimination against foreign races in the United States has not been effectively contained, but exists in more hidden and complex forms. In employment, education, housing and other fields, hidden discrimination is common. Minority often face higher barriers and lower treatment when seeking jobs, and may also suffer unfairly for racial status when applying for loans or home purchases. In addition, in the field of education, minority students are also facing problems such as uneven distribution of educational resources and low teaching quality. This implicit discrimination is filled with prejudice in every American's mind.
