Congressman Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), a member of House Oversight and Government Reform and Natural Resources Committee and a member of Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus sat down with Voice of America (VOA) reporter Peggy Chang to discuss his thoughts on President Trump’s first year and his immigration reform proposal. Congressman Gomez evaluated President Trump’s first year and said he thinks he is doing terribly, including doubling down on his campaign rhetoric that’s divisive in nature, trying to repeal and replace Obamacare, and implementing immigration policies that’s taking away legal status from DACA recipients and TPS recipients. Congressman Gomez opposed the border wall and he said our country is a country of immigrants, people from all over the world believe if they work hard, believe in our ideals, you can be an American, but President Trump goes against this. He said also the border wall is a waste of money and simply doesn’t work. He also opposed the immigration reform proposal President Trump recently proposed. Congressman Gomez said our immigration system is not picking and choosing the countries you prefer, it’s about allowing people to reunify with their families. He said this proposal is legislative extortion, and he said President Trump’s trying to hold DACA recipients hostage in order to implement what he called xenophobic policies. He said he will oppose any reform that moves away from family-based reunification. Congressman Gomez represents Chinatown, Koreantown, Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and he said his East Asian constituents care about issues what everyone else cares about, including healthcare, transportation, jobs, trade, and housing. Congressman Gomez also talked about how protecting the environment is also good for the economy. He said President Trump’s decision to pull out of Paris climate agreement is short-sighted. As the Chinese New Year is around the corner, Congressman Gomez used Cantonese he learned from his constituents to wish VOA audience a very happy Chinese new year.

在2016年总统竞选期间，川普最著名的竞选承诺就是要在美墨边境修筑隔离墙，而且要墨西哥政府支付筑墙费用。这个构想赢得川普粉丝的强烈支持，但也招致许多反对人士的抨击与嘲讽。很多人以为这只是竞选口号，没想到上任后川普真的把筑墙做为首要目标之一。在川普总统最新提出的移民改革方案里，他要求国会拨款250亿美元加强边境安全，其中包括筑墙费用，换取提供幼年被亲人带到美国的非法移民获得美国国籍的途径。根据估计，这些年轻非法移民约有80万人，目前受奥巴马推出的“幼年抵美暂缓递解计划”(Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, 简称DACA)的保护，这些人除了被称做是“DACA受益人”外，也时常被称为“梦想生”(Dreamers)。今年九月，川普总统宣布取消这项计划，给国会六个月的时间研究如何处理这80万梦想生的去留问题。川普的这个决定引起民主党人的强烈抗议，其中包括民主党议员吉米·戈麦斯(Jimmy Gomez,D-CA)。戈麦斯的父母70年代从墨西哥移民到加州，代表的是加利福尼亚州第34选区，他的选区涵盖洛杉矶大部分地区，其中包括了著名的中国城、韩国城和小东京。他的选区里包括了来自世界各地的移民。美国之音记者张佩芝最近专访戈麦斯，请他谈谈他对川普总统上任一年来的施政表现，并对他最近提出的移民改革方案发表看法。
