是“保護華人”,還是抗美援共?

繼Texas/德克薩斯州推動立法(HB,SB),禁止“中國,伊朗,北韓和俄國”四個敵對國的政府、公司,以及公民,在德州購買房地產之後,佐治亞州跟進,六名共和黨議員共同提案 GA House Bill 246(見附錄一),然後又有SB132,限製這四個國家在佐治亞州購買房地產。然後南卡跟進,有SB576 & 392。。。再然後會有16個州跟進,再然後更多州跟進。。。
於是,就有一夥華人“僑領”激動起來了。由他們就鼓動起來了一係列的抗議。。。轟轟烈烈,沸沸騰騰。。。大有再現2008年全美一片“紅海洋”的趨勢。。。記得嗎?2008年,中共隻是為了自己顏麵,卻要搞勞民傷財的2008年奧運會。為了支持中共,全美國各大主要都市都出現了一片“紅海洋”,紅旗招展,人聲鼎沸,。。。
這次的發起和過程和2008年的“紅海洋”,是“似曾相識燕歸來”。看似“義憤填膺”的“人山人海”。。。其實,就是一小撮人在全美到處鼓動。絕大部分的華人都是在靜觀。。。絕大多數人都沒有搞清楚究竟是怎麽回事情,更不用說來龍去脈,更不要說讀過了這個法案。
我相信,被鼓動出來的大多數人都還沒有搞清楚這些法案的具體內容。更不用說,什麽是HB,什麽是SB。
美國從政體上說是三權分立的,從管理層次來說是四級構架,聯邦/Federal,州/State,郡/County,市/City四級。(見我2017年的《老錢:由納稅想到公民權利,1681》。每一級上都分有獨立的立法,司法和行政三權機構。在聯邦和州的立法機構又分為眾議院/House和參議院/Senate。眾議院和參議院分別由眾議員/Representatives和參議員/Senators構成。眾議員代表人民,或者說按人口劃分成選區/HD,由HD裏的民眾選舉產生。參議員代表地區,按曆史地理劃分成選區/SD,由SD裏的民眾選舉產生。
立法機構的責任就是,發現問題,通過修法或立新法來解決問題。每年都會提出新法案/Bill。眾院提出的Bill,就是冠以HB打頭加提出序號,如HB246。SB就是參院提出的Bill,如SB132,等等。每年都會有上千的提案提出。所以,這些提案/Bill後麵的數字還不夠識別,所以必須說明年份。比如說,上網搜索HB246,得到的可能是過去年份的HB246,風牛馬不相及。必須是“HB246/2023年度”。
華人到底應該怎麽看待?這是一個,擺在全體華人麵前的,非常嚴肅,也是非常嚴酷的問題。我們是亦步亦趨地,一步一步地淪陷於他們挖的“中共政權的軟實力”的坑裏,讓在美華人的生存環境越來越惡化呢?。。。
跟著起哄,華人真的就顯得“威武,雄壯”起來了?
我們要說清楚這些問題,需要仔細考慮,仔細分析,要抽絲剝繭,層絲析屢仔細想清楚下列問題。
· 這些法案的內容是什麽?到底是針對誰,針對什麽問題?
其實,這些問題絕不是僅僅關係到一個“房地產”的問題。其實關係到方方麵麵的問題。是關係到我們已經決定在美國生存發展的華人的生存環境的問題。我們當我們把上上述問題都理清楚了,看清楚了,華人應該怎麽辦?也就清楚了。
因為現代的生活節奏快速且緊張,大家都習慣了“文化快餐”,沒有耐心,也沒有時間來讀長篇大論。
所以我在這裏先把問題提出來。然後,容我把這些問題做成“chicken nugs/炸雞塊”一樣地,逐步展開。
