Guestworker Programs in the United States are Akin to Slavery:

He explained that he voted against the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 because it included a temporary guest worker program, which he equated to “slavery.”

“In terms of 2007 immigration reform, yup, I did vote against it,” said Sanders. “I voted against it because the Southern Poverty Law Center among other groups said that the guest worker programs that were embedded in this agreement were akin to slavery.”

Southern Poverty Law Center released a report in 2007 comparing guest worker programs to slavery. The non-profit legal advocacy organization advocated that guest worker programs not be expanded under legal efforts for comprehensive immigration reform.

Vietnam, Cambodia and the birth of American militarism

2016年02月12日 17時14分03秒 | Weblog



“Now,” replied Kissinger, “we are the downtrodden” — a reference to the Yankees’ poor performance the previous season. During his time in office, Kissinger had been involved in three of the genocides Power mentions in her book: Pol Pot’s “killing fields” in Cambodia, which would never have occurred had he not infamously ordered an illegal four-and-a-half-year bombing campaign in that country; Indonesia’s massacre in East Timor; and Pakistan’s in Bangladesh, both of which he expedited.



Only recently, Barack Obama announced that U.S. troops wouldn’t be leaving Afghanistan any time soon and also made a deeper commitment to fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, including deploying the first U.S. ground personnel into that country. Indeed, a new book by New York Timesreporter Charlie Savage, Power Wars, suggests that there has been little substantive difference between George W. Bush’s administration and Obama’s when it comes to national security policies or the legal justifications used to pursue regime change in the Greater Middle East.

Henry Kissinger is, of course, not singularly responsible for the evolution of the U.S. national security state into a monstrosity. That state has had many administrators. But his example — especially his steadfast support for bombing as an instrument of “diplomacy” and his militarization of the Persian Gulf — has coursed through the decades, shedding a spectral light on the road that has brought us to a state of eternal war.

Having either condoned, authorized, or planned so many invasions — Indonesia’s in East Timor, Pakistan’s in Bangladesh, the U.S.’s in Cambodia, South Vietnam’s in Laos, and South Africa’s in Angola — Henry Kissinger took the only logical stance in early August 1990, when Saddam Hussein sent the Iraqi military into Kuwait: he condemned the act. In office, he had worked to pump up Baghdad’s regional ambitions. As a private consultant and pundit, he had promoted the idea that Saddam’s Iraq could serve as a disposable counterweight to revolutionary Iran. Now, he knew just what needed to be done: the annexation of Kuwait had to be reversed.




Saddam Hussein’s troops were easily driven out of Kuwait and, momentarily, it looked like the outcome would vindicate the logic behind Kissinger’s and Nixon’s covert Cambodian air campaign: that the US should be free to use whatever military force it needed to compel the political outcome it sought. It seemed as if the world Kissinger had long believed he ought to live in was finally coming into bein




After all, being “right or not is really secondary” to the main issue: being willing to do something decisive, especially use air power to “break the back” of… well, whomever.


Public support for the war was by then plummeting and Bush’s justifications for waging it expanding. America’s “responsibility,” he had announced earlier that year in his second inaugural address, was to “rid the world of evil.”


There was, he said, no difference between what he did with B-52s in Cambodia and what the president was doing with drones in Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen. When asked about his role in overthrowing Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile in 1973, he insisted that his actions had been retrospectively justified by what Obama and Power did in Libya and wanted to do in Syria.



He was right, however, in his assertion that many of the political arguments he made in the late 1960s to justify his illegal and covert wars in Cambodia and Laos, considered at the time way beyond mainstream thinking, are now an unquestioned, very public part of American policymaking. This was especially true of the idea that the U.S. has the right to violate the sovereignty of a neutral country to destroy enemy “sanctuaries.” “If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven,” Barack Obama has said, offering Kissinger his retroactive absolution.



ベトナム、カンボジア、インドネシア、バングラディッシュ・・空爆、虐殺の黙認など、アメリカの脅威になるものは、正しかろう間違っていようと、ボコボコに撃滅するというアメリカの軍国主義はキッシンジャーのイデオロギーなんだ、と。

この軍国主義の外交方針については、ブッシュもオバマも変わりはない、と。

そうしたことは、イラン系米左翼でも言われていることで、

米から金を巻き上げている中国や日本、メキシコなどをとっちめてアメリカを再び偉大に!

トランプが支持されている理由で、金があるから、圧力団体に影響されていないこと、また、イスラム教徒の入国を禁止してテロを予防できる(と思っている)ことなど上げている。

日米貿易摩擦のときでも、自分たちが停滞しているのは、日本がずるいことをしているからだ、という被害者意識から、日本を散々バッシングしていたわけで、こうした発想の根は深いから、注意すべき。

But there were huge structural pressures in the background: extraordinary and growing American pressure on Tokyo and Seoul to finally put this issue to rest. Every Western analyst, journalist, academic, government or military figure I know with some involvement in this issue thought a resolution was critical. There has been constant diplomatic pressure at track 1, 1.5 and 2 levels on both parties to resolve it.


ああ、やっぱ、日韓合意の裏には、アメリカからの巨大な圧力があって晋三坊ちゃまはそれに屈したのですね。
