我见 我闻 我思

美国是移民国家

来自各族裔的社区人士给予我们精神和物质之支持, 让我们的社区服务中心能积极地展开各项服务工作，我们的使命是加强政府和民间縦横的联繫。

自从八十年代中期，大批来自中国大陆及东南亚国家之移民，大量涌入美国，据人口普查统计， 目前登记在册的亚裔人口已超过二千万人，其中华人最多，佔五百万人，也是从亚洲移民美国最早的移民。

自二次大战之后，美国就开始了强国之路，如果我们翻开各项高科技之发展史，其中不乏是来自世界各国之移民，他们怀着追寻美国梦，為美国之进步和繁荣立下了汗马功劳，时至今日，美国高端科技公司如谷歌、特斯拉都是新一代移民所领导。

我们始终认為，美国要继续强大，必须继续加大和放宽移民政策，吸引更多优秀的留学生，开放自然科学之硏究，凡是获得博士或硕士学位之毕业生，都给予绿卡居留权，将他们留下来為国家继续打拼。

不幸的是，许多保守和反移民人士，已经想把移民之大门关上，他们為了自己政治上之利益，希望走向闭关自守之路。

我们坚信美国是一个移民国家，是一个民族之大熔炉，来到这块土地的人只有先来后到之分， 我们必须和平相处，共容共存，才是国家之福。

We Are The Nation Of Immigrants

Today we really appreciate all the leaders from the different communities that have come to support the ITC Community Resource Center. This project will open the door for all of us and build a bridge between our community and government.

                                                                                                                                                    Since the middle of the 1980’s many new immigrants and students came to America including many from China and other Asian countries. According to the latest census, there are over twenty million Asians in the United States with five million of them being Chinese. They were also the earliest immigrants from Asia.

After World War II many immigrants made very outstanding contributions to America’s economy and we have become a superpower ever since then. Even today, companies like Google, Zoom and other top high-tech companies are led by immigrants.

We strongly suggest to President Biden to open the door for newcomers. For those students who get their masters, doctorate or PhD degrees, we should issue them permanent residence cards so they can stay to continue with their life’s work here in the U.S.

Many people in this country are against a strong immigration policy simply because of their political interest.

After all, we are the nation of immigrants. If we want to keep strong in the future, we need more new blood to build our nation.
