THE CASE AGAINST RACE BASED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
By David Sacks & Peter Thiel
Over the past quarter of a century, Stanford has been discriminating in

financial aid. But only recently has the University been forced to rethink
these policies in the face of an emerging public debate over affirmative

美国联邦政府关门戏剧暂时告一段落。值得关注的是,以往数次的原因都是联邦开
支项目,这次的关键原因不一样,是自幼进入美国的“追梦者”暂缓遣返计划争议,与
预算并无直接关系。这说明移民政策已经成为美国党争的最大问题。
前些日子,国会两党议员就此与总统特朗普商谈时,传出了特朗普不愿接受“粪坑

因。
特朗普同时质问,为什么美国今天很少接受挪威来的移民,这表明美国的反移民浪

特朗普和美国右翼在移民问题上的闭关自守方针,以及“粪坑国家”言论,可以说
