标题: 再确认一下UA里程票

现在的里程票，也真是不太好搞了。主要因为是改票要交$75~$100，所以灵活性大大降
低。一旦订了以后，想改一是不一定再找得到SAVER票（旺季），改到淡季去用也是亏
了（而且有小孩上学的，淡季也走不了）。再确认几个问题：
1）一旦出票，后面更改也只能在出票日后面的一年内，是吧？
2）如果确实不能按期旅行，但又不知道改到哪天，是否可以取消行程，保留里程在票
里面，直到确定要改的日期了，再付$75改？或者说最后一年快到了，交$200要求
REDEPOSIT里程？谢谢。

August 3, 2017, 我和全美最年轻的参议员Tom Cotton在比华利山会面2个小时。我和
他交流了他最近撰写的新移民法，亚裔细分问题，以及华裔MAVNI参军必须立刻解决的
delay问题。我把提前写好的MAVNI请愿书交给他，参议员Tom Cotton表示他会重视这个
问题，立刻想办法帮助华裔军人解决。
鉴于新移民法是华人非常关注的事情，而Tom Cotton又是主要提案人之一。在这里，我
想重点讲述一下和Tom Cotton谈新移民法的情况。
（编者按：原文对话为英文，请尽量阅读原文。本编辑部只提供简版翻译。）
David,
How long did you prepare for the RAISE act, and what was the most important
intention behind this act? Some of the legal immigrants are worried about
their family members not being able to get green cards, some of them are
already in process of getting their family members green cards, are they
going to be affected and when is this bill going to be passed?
(请问您花了多长时间准备这个法案，该法案最主要的目的是什么？)
(请大家听听这个语音，可以听到Tom Cotton对该法案的阐述。)
Tom Cotton,
So this is something I have worked on at a high level for some years, the
immigration issue has been around for a long time. Perdue and I have sat
down and started to put things together. I got David on board in January, he
’s a big help and with CEO background, very big help. So we pitched this
message to the president in February, and at the time, there were 150000
employment based visas along with refugees and family unifications and
lottery. The president wanted to use point based visas, so our experts
consulted with people in Canada.
As it regards to family unification, there is a grandfathered clause, people
move down the list from a certain amount of time, parents, siblings, other
extended families are included in this system. Also, there is a point based
system, where the whole idea is to create a new immigration system where
points are based on your ability to English, educational level, money
offered at your job, what you are doing for the community, your age,
exceptional capabilities, etc. . So you get a scale from 0-100, you have to
get 30 points to be eligible. From what we see, it’s really hard to get
over 50 points, you’d have to be an Olympic gold medalist who also won a
Nobel Prize at 26 years old.
(总统希望使用打分制度。专家们取经了加拿大移民法，借鉴他们的法律而写出了该移
民法。新移民法打分制度满分为100分，根据申请人的英语水平，教育水平，工作收入
，为社区的贡献，年龄，和特殊能力等等。满30分才有资格。我们认为得到超过50分就
非常困难了。 )

So if you have been on the family waiting list, you will get a few extra
points, in additional to the points.
(如果你已经在“家庭关系”的等待名单上，可以加分。)
David,
I think this act is a great idea to get rid of the parasites of our
community, and to retain more high skill assets in this country at the same
time depressurize to competition between lower skilled labors locally.
Tom Cotton,
Here an example, there are 85k Somalia born residents in the United States.
Somalia is a country with about 15 million people. And there are 80k
Australian born residents in the United States, and Australia has 25 million
people.
An echo effect was created when a lot of Somalia refugees came here in the
1990s, and lasted for decades for no real reasons that we should give them
green cards. Or you can give green cards to Australians who speak our
language and one of the highest per capita in the world and highly educated.
Who is to say to whom we should give green cards to?
Melania Trump is a perfect example here. She speaks perfect English, she has
college degree, and I presume when she came here she was making above
median income, and she was young, so she would definitely qualify.
David,
Thank you, Senator! And thank you for making America work again! One last
question,do you support racial based college admission and any sort of
disaggregation. Asian Americans have been worrying about many Asian based
disaggregation bills being passed by the democrats controlled legislatures.
Tom Cotton,
I do not support any racial based college admission. As for disaggregation,
I have to look more into the specific issue. I believe segregation is a
thing of the past.
David,
Thank you for your time Senator. Please do take a serious look into the Dem
sponsored Asian disaggregation bills and I would like to contact your office
in the future on more issues Asian Americans face.

谢谢，如果仅取消行程，不订新的日期，是否21天内也可以啊？据说有LAST MINUTE
SAVER票，猜测是不是有人出发前才取消行程，所以空出来的里程票？

【在 c**2 的大作中提到】
