 "Multidimensional news" Chinese lunar calendar new year, Republican Senator Brown (Scott Brown,R-MA) to the cube says he and Democratic Senator fanyinsitan (Dianne Feinstein,D-CA), a bipartisan group of Senators proposed asking Congress to United States history, the infamous resolution, apologize to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Access to this information, we do not have a shock, this endorsement is the second Chinese-American Congresswoman Judy Chu of the Chinese Exclusion Act, another major breakthrough after the apology motion.

The Chinese Exclusion Act is United States history, the first and only an act of exclusion of a particular race. This Act prohibits laborers, migrants, adopted in 1882 10 was later extended until abolished in 1943. During the execution of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese people may not be naturalized, shall not intermarriage with whites, are not allowed to buy land and House property, Chinese wives may not enter United States reunion. As of today, while the Act was abolished a long time ago, but it has long been one of the United States part of the code. 8th the 7th chapter titles as "excluded Chinese" (Exclusion of Chinese). It is the 8th series (aliens and nationality) Chapter 15, there would be only chapters for a specific nationality or ethnic group.

Referring to United States "glorious" history, the Declaration of independence at the national archives are familiar to the world and the United States Constitution, the Bill of rights, Washington first inaugural landmark documents. But in the history of its development, there are also many dark moments. In the course of the pioneering era of racial discrimination from the discovery of America, and today United States as the world's superpower, itself as the "godfathers of democracy", can never be a good solution. This is to advocate freedom and equality and democracy of the United States great irony in the spirit.

Just came to the United States to work, as well as many to the United States for many years, success and live a carefree life and even considered elite Chinese speaking, members may have the same immigrant background. But for overseas Chinese immigrant United States history and the 1882 United States Chinese Exclusion Act, people may not know much. But when we come into contact with that period of history, one can't help but huangwu United States history have so many incidents that affect Chinese immigrants, to forefathers went through so many hardships and tribulations of migrants, by stunned by so much humiliation and persecution. Especially now, with the improvement of China's international status, Chinese in the United States playing a more and more important role in 2020 is expected to exceed 6 million, United States's third largest minority. Chinese should unite to improve the social and political status in the us.

Taking history as a mirror, the known forces. It is true that a country in the development of their civilization, will go some detours, will experience some wild ones. But what's important is what's wrong with someone else. If Yes, civilization development, more noble. United States Government in the past more than 20 years, has been to the Indians, native Hawaiians, and slavery in the time of African-Americans, even being put into a concentration camp during World War II, the Japanese

The hunt for ten years, and finally killed Osama bin Laden. But bin Laden hiding from the Pakistani capital, not far from the United States to Panama are dissatisfied.

Ethnic apologized. But the discrimination and persecution of Chinese immigrants, has never had a formal conclusion. We asked United States Government and Congress to apologize for the Chinese Exclusion Act, it was hoped that United States can take history as a mirror, take history as a mirror, make their own civilization more brilliant. Of course, also hope that through this so that more people understand the history of Chinese immigration, approved Chinese United States social contributions, ethnic mutual respect and harmony.

View all, with the rise of China and Sino-American relations entered a "normal" times, apologizing to the Chinese Exclusion Act was the natural order of things. Chinese need to United States Government word of apology, only to face up to that period of history, ahead of the Chinese in the United States the dignity of life and political interests can be ensured.
