Lawyer: Biden's immigration policy may hit American society
Reporter : Li Jiayin / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/01/30/a103043662.html / Direct translation
The new President Biden signed six administrative orders on immigration issues on the first day after he took office. California Chinese lawyer Liu Fenglan believes that some policies will impact American society and may cause irreversible losses.
In response to Biden’s six administrative orders concerning immigration issues issued on January 20, senior California lawyer Liu Fenglan stated that these six administrative orders are all aimed at illegal immigrants, and the increasingly relaxed policies may affect many aspects of the United States. Cause adverse effects.
California lawyer Liu Fenglan said, "These people come here without the ability to survive, eat, drink, and educate. Many of them use children to come. I think (they) use children as tools. That's why there are so many futures. Adult children come to the U.S. This is a moral kidnapping. (Some) Latin Americans don’t care about education. In the impression of (some) Latin Americans, it seems that if they come to the U.S., they don’t have to work, but they should get welfare. So the population quality will decrease."
Regarding Biden's pledge of 4 billion U.S. dollars in Central America to fund the construction of countries in the region, Lawyer Liu said this will lead to a vicious circle.
California lawyer Liu Fenglan said, "While he opened the door to Central and South Americans, he also gave their home country money. The home country of those people is very happy at first glance. I keep sending people to (the United States). Anyway, you ( The U.S. policy is to accept, we commit crimes, non-working, welfare, and children, I will put them in your country, and you will raise them for us. At the same time, it poses a threat to your country. You have to give me money."
Lawyer Liu believes that after Biden took office, a series of actions were intended to overthrow Trump's political achievements. Among them, Biden's cancellation of travel bans against seven Muslim countries will also endanger the homeland security of the United States.
California lawyer Liu Fenglan commented, "I think there have been no terrorist attacks in the United States in recent years. Unlike European countries, there have been so many terrorist attacks in Paris and London. They are all due to Trump. I think he (Trump) is very Yingming. He is banning (entry) from Muslim countries, but it is not completely forbidden. He will conduct a background check on you and come back after the investigation. If this is taken away by Biden, I think the homeland security of the United States will also be very problematic. "The common people have to pay a lot of taxes to support these illegal and potential terrorists, and to pay taxes to support others to kill the legitimate taxpayers in the United States." "This is very scary."
Lawyer Liu believes that illegal immigrants currently attempting to enter the United States in a caravan are not only unable to maintain social distancing in the car, but it is also unknown whether they wear a mask. The entry of such groups into the United States may worsen the epidemic, and then overwhelm the medical system.

On January 29 (Friday), Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party legislators passed a proposal in the Legislative Yuan, requesting the Ministry of the Interior to assess the necessity of changing the national emblem of the Republic of China. In this regard, the Kuomintang strongly opposed.
Due to the support of the Democratic Progressive Party group, the motion proposed by the Green Era Power Party Group was passed with 63 votes in favor and 37 votes against it. The Force of the Times believes that the national emblem of the Republic of China and the Kuomintang party emblem are too similar and easy to confuse. Therefore, it is proposed that the Ministry of the Interior assess whether it is necessary to modify the national emblem.
After the proposal was passed, the Ministry of the Interior stated that it would comply with the resolution of the Legislative Yuan and submit a project report within two months.
The bill attracted strong opposition from the Kuomintang. Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen responded on Saturday that the national emblem and party emblem are not the same and there is no need to change it. He also called to President Tsai Ing-wen, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, to question whether the matter was led by her.
The former chairman of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun, also shouted to the Green Camp, asking whether the next step was to change the national flag and the national emblem, and asked the DPP not to use this method to cover up "independence of Taiwan."
DPP legislator Chen Tingfei retorted that the DPP had requested the KMT to modify the party emblem so as not to confuse it with the national emblem, but the KMT refused and ridiculed the DPP’s "change the national emblem if they had the courage". The Legislative Yuan's decision to evaluate a change to the national emblem is meant to "follow KMT's intention".
