Immigration Debate Heats Up Following Chloe Kim’s Olympic Gold
克洛伊·金夺得奥运金牌后移民问题迅速升温
After American snowboarder Chloe Kim won gold in the women’s halfpipe event this week, her father Jong Jin Kim, an immigrant from Korea, pointed to himself and said “American Dream.” Chloe Kim’s father moved to California from Korea in 1982 with only $300 in his pocket. He did not have a university degree when he arrived; however, he later attended university and become an engineer. He also started a family and raised a daughter who, at just 17 years old, won an Olympic gold medal for her country. US Senator Dick Durbin picked up on the story and told it on the Senate floor as an example of why Trump’s vision of a strict, merit-based immigration is not the American way.
本周，美国滑雪选手克洛伊·金获得了女子U型场地滑雪金牌后，她来自韩国移民的父亲金钟镇指着自己说“美国梦”。克洛伊·金的父亲在1982年从韩国移民到加利福尼亚，当时身上只有300美元。他刚来美国的时候没有大学文凭；但是后来他上了大学并成为了一名工程师。他成了家还有了一个女儿，他的女儿在年仅17岁的时候就为自己的国家赢得了一枚奥运金牌。美国参议员迪克·德宾以此为例在参议院阐述为何特朗普以优秀为基础的严格移民制度在美国行不通。
